Youth Yellow Pages: Medical & Dental Assistance
“My family doesn't have medical insurance and we have no money, can you tell me the names of some free clinics in my area?” - 15 year old
You can get many health care services free or at a cost based on how much you are able to pay (called “sliding fees”). In most cases, services are confidential. Parental consent is not needed to get tested for STDs or pregnancy. Parental consent is not needed to receive treatment for STDs, a suicidal crisis, sexual or physical abuse.
Before going to the places listed in this section, call and ask:
- What services are offered?
- Who can receive services?
- How are charges handled?
- Do I need an appointment?
- Do I need parental permission?
