*Note: these already cover all family planning services!

You can also enroll for temporary, immediate Family Planning Medicaid coverage through a 5-minute verbal application at a qualifying health center.

• You don’t need to provide proof of documentation status or answer any questions about U.S. citizenship to get temporary Family Planning Medicaid coverage, and applying for this coverage will NOT count towards public charge.

• Birth control (pill, patch, ring, Depo, implant, & IUD)
• STI testing and treatment
• HIV testing, PEP, and PrEP
• Preconception care, counseling, and labs

You will not be mailed a bill for services you receive through the Family Planning Medicaid Program.

If you don’t qualify for the program, don’t worry: You still have options.

ICAN! Quality Hub providers will provide care regardless of ability to pay. You can also check out Title X health centers that provide birth control, STD/STI testing and treatment, and more at no cost. You can also access care at Title X health centers if you are traveling from out of state.

You can apply for the HFS Family Planning Program on the Illinois benefits website, in person, or by phone.
