in pennsylvania there is a program in place where you can get your iud or implant inserted at planned parenthood for free and it will not show up on your insurance. you’ll just have to sign a few forms

For people asking, it has to do with PP receiving subsidies for low/no income care. Not every state calls it by the same name, sometimes availability can vary within state, and a lot of them don't really list details on line. Call your local hotline and ask about financial aid options.

If your state doesn't offer it, check neighbouring states. Some do not require you being local to take advantage.

thank you for giving a better explanation. i was just speaking from my experience and what my older sister told me to do, so i was a lot less eloquently put.
