emblu asked:


Hi, I have recently moved to New York City from England, I am on a tourist visa, I’m not a resident and my birth control has run out. In the UK we don’t need health insurance so I’m not sure how it all works over here. I hope some one can give me some advice.

As a non resident can I just call any doctor and make an appointment? If so how much abouts will it cost? ( I only have travel insurance and am pretty sure they wont cover birth control!)
How much is the birth control? Also do you have to be a U.S resident to go to the Planned Parenthood clinics? I looked at their website online and you have to enter a social security no. which I don’t have.

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!
