I am seeking information about medical insurance and going to a Gynecologist. Any advice?

I am 20 years old, and I understand the importance of going to yearly check-ups. I have no idea where to start or how much it will cost.. so could anybody help me understand the whole process, and does anybody have any advice concerning the issue?I am seeking information about medical insurance and going to a Gynecologist.

If you have insurance you can call them and ask if they cover a yearly womens exam. If they do great. If they don't or you don't have insurance it can cost a lot depending on where you go. Search the yellow pages in your area and find a womens clinic or womens health center. Then call and ask how much a routine exam would be.


Insurance will probably make you pay a $25 copayment. Without insurance some tests can cost a lot. It really depends on where you live and how in demand the doctor you go to is.





At the actual visit you will have to fill out several forms concering sexual activity, any problems you think you have or might have and family history. They'll have you pee in a cup most likely to test for things. You'll meet the doctor, they ask you more questions. Then you change into paper like clothes and the doctor will come back, feel inside you for a moment, take a swap ( this may hurt if you are a virgin). Then you'll get dressed, have another moment to talk to he doctor and you'll leave. They'll mail you your test results and inform you of any irregularities.





It's simple, just takes time. It's okay to let the doctor know this is your first exam, they'll probably ask you in the papers you fill out. Nothing to be nervous about :) though I do suggest a female doctor.I am seeking information about medical insurance and going to a Gynecologist. Any advice?
what state do you live in? In Cali there is family pact insurance that is specifically for that and costs you nothing if you are low income.
I would like to suggest to try to get as much information as you could before making up your mind,here

is a very resourceful one.
If you do not have insurance - most communities have a clinic that charges according to income - or call your county Health Dept. for info - ( FYI- some Health Depts do pregnancy tests too) -
