I don't have medical insurance right now since Steve and I both started new jobs when we moved to Utah. I'm on the birth control shot depo provera and was due for my next one so I called around to see where I could get it the cheapest - since I'd be paying out of pocket.
It was pretty much the same everywhere, except that they all wanted me to get a Well Woman check. I just had one in August (when we had insurance) and so I didn't want to PAY for another. One clinic said to go to Planned Parenthood since none of the clinics in Utah will accept my records being faxed to them from another clinic. Funny thing is, I had already tried their website, and it didn't give any indication that there was a Planned Parenthood in Utah.
Anyway, we got the number from another clinic, called and asked if they wanted my medical records faxed over since I didn't want another exam, but they didn't need it. I thought it was weird. We went in yesterday, and I filled out a quick form with my contact information and then I went back to the exam room. She got a brief medical history, and after approval, gave me the shot with no proof of anything from me!
I don't think I like their policies.
When I first started Depo Provera, I had to take a pregnancy test. I was told that if I missed a shot outside a certain two-week window, I would need to take another pregnancy test before they could give me another shot.
I just simply told her my two-week window, and she accepted it! What is wrong with them?! People lie! I didn't lie... but that doesn't mean other people don't lie!!! I know they are an organization that wants to be there for people, but still! I like that about them, but still!
I can't wait until we get insurance again. I guess I like stricter policies. I'm really not sure why it bothers me so much... but it does. What are your thoughts?
