Medicaid family planning services are usually provided to people aged from 10 to 64, whose family is at the low-income bracket. An individual who is not married and has no children can apply at local health centers. Trained staff there will help determine if they are qualified for Medicaid family planning services and other programs offered by the state. Applications are kept very confidential.

Medicaid family planning services includes coverage for all types of birth control, emergency contraception and follow-up, pregnancy testing and counseling, ligation and vasectomy, STD testing and counseling, pap smears, testing for cervical cancer, pelvic problems, breast disease, anemia, and high blood pressure, and HIV testing and counseling. For tests and counseling to be covered they must be done during a family planning consultation.
