Planned Parenthood visits without insurance typically range from $0 to a few hundred dollars, depending on the service and your income. A standard wellness exam runs about $266 to $341 before any discounts, while simpler services like STI testing can be as low as $0 to $250. Most health centers offer a sliding fee scale that lowers your cost based on what you earn, so the listed prices are often higher than what you’d actually pay.
Wellness Exams and Office Visits
A routine wellness visit is one of the most common reasons people go to Planned Parenthood. For patients ages 18 to 39, the self-pay cost is about $266 for an established patient and $295 for a first visit. If you’re between 40 and 64, expect to pay around $284 as a returning patient or $341 as a new one. These are undiscounted prices from one regional affiliate, so your local center may charge slightly more or less.
These visits generally cover a physical exam, health screening, and a conversation about your reproductive health. Additional lab work or testing ordered during the visit may be billed separately.
Birth Control Costs
Birth control pricing varies widely based on the method you choose. A contraceptive implant (the small rod placed in your arm that lasts several years) can cost anywhere from $0 to $2,300 without insurance, and removal runs $0 to $300. That upper range covers the device itself, the insertion procedure, and any associated lab work.
Planned Parenthood’s national site doesn’t publish a single price list for pills, IUDs, or injectable contraception because costs differ by location and funding availability. Your actual price could be significantly lower than the listed maximum if you qualify for financial assistance or if the center receives grant funding that subsidizes contraception. Calling your nearest location and asking for a price quote on your preferred method is the fastest way to get an accurate number.
STI Testing and Treatment
STI testing costs between $0 and $250, depending on how many infections you’re screening for and which health center you visit. A single test for one infection will fall on the low end, while a comprehensive panel checking for multiple STIs costs more. Some centers can also treat common infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea on the same visit.
If you can’t afford testing, many Planned Parenthood locations use sliding scale pricing or can refer you to local health departments that offer free or low-cost screening. It’s worth asking about this before your appointment.
Abortion Services
Medication abortion (the abortion pill) can cost up to around $800, but the average price at Planned Parenthood is closer to $580. Some locations bundle the cost to include the pregnancy test, ultrasound, and any required STI screening. Planned Parenthood of Florida, for example, lists an all-inclusive price of $650 for procedures up to 6 weeks, covering the pregnancy test, ultrasound, and gonorrhea and chlamydia testing.
In-clinic procedural abortions are generally more expensive, especially at later gestational ages, but Planned Parenthood doesn’t publish a single national price for these. Costs vary by state, the stage of pregnancy, and what financial assistance programs the center participates in.
Pap Smears and Cancer Screening
A regular Pap test runs about $40 at Planned Parenthood locations in Florida, while a Pap combined with HPV testing costs around $110. These are common screenings for cervical cancer that are recommended on a regular schedule for most women. Pricing at other affiliates may differ, but these figures give a reasonable ballpark.
Hormone Therapy
Gender-affirming hormone therapy visits cost about $250 for the initial consultation and $200 for follow-ups, plus additional charges for required blood work. The medications themselves are a separate cost. If your pharmacy charges more than expected, discount programs like GoodRx can sometimes bring the price down considerably. Financial assistance may also be available if you let the center’s case manager know ahead of time.
Prenatal Care
Initial prenatal services through about 12 weeks of pregnancy, including ultrasound, STI screening, and genetic testing, range from $275 to $700. Not all Planned Parenthood locations offer prenatal care, so check with your nearest center about availability.
HIV Prevention (PrEP)
PrEP, the daily medication that prevents HIV infection, can be expensive without insurance, but Planned Parenthood staff often help patients access it at no cost or very low cost through manufacturer assistance programs. The maker of one common PrEP medication runs an assistance program for uninsured adults that doesn’t require U.S. citizenship, only proof of residency. Your local Planned Parenthood can walk you through the enrollment process.
How the Sliding Fee Scale Works
The prices listed above are the full, undiscounted rates. Many patients pay less. Planned Parenthood health centers receive federal Title X family planning funding and other grants that allow them to reduce costs for lower-income patients. If your household income falls at or below the federal poverty level, you may qualify for free services. If you earn between 100% and 250% of the poverty level, you’re charged on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay.
The exact discount you receive, and the documentation you’ll need to prove your income, varies by location. Some centers ask for a recent pay stub or tax return, while others may use a simpler self-reported income form. Minors seeking confidential services are evaluated based on their own income rather than their parents’. The best approach is to call your nearest health center before your visit, explain that you’re uninsured, and ask what financial assistance options are available. Many patients are surprised to find their visit costs far less than the sticker price.
Why Prices Vary by Location
Planned Parenthood operates as a network of independent regional affiliates, not a single organization with uniform pricing. Each affiliate sets its own fees based on local operating costs, the amount of grant funding it receives, and which state or local programs are available to offset patient expenses. A wellness visit that costs $295 in one state might be priced differently in another. The funding landscape also shifts over time as government grants and donations fluctuate, which means prices can change from year to year. Always confirm current pricing directly with the health center you plan to visit.
