Planned parenthood is a place where people that might not have access to those treatments can go. It's where young girls can go to get birth control without their parents knowing. It's a place where someone can get an STD test without questions. There are so many things that it offers. The birth control they have is in bulk to them so it's cheaper than a pharmacy. As someone who has worked in the medical field, when you come in with a specific problem like warts, there is no need to perform most of the exams that are on the general form. That form is used for everything. My personal experience with planned parenthood was that it was a lot cheaper than my regular doctor who would have wanted me to have a full physical and I didn't have insurance. I saw a LNP who reports directly to a doctor and can legally write prescriptions (4 year degree and some). She was able to answer a few difficult questions that I had (I had done some serious research before going in). She wrote a prescription and I was able to fill it there for a much better price.

If you make "to much money" you will pay the what is usual and customary depending on your state and city. So yes it will be close to the same like a private doctor. If you are low income you qualify for discount services. So you pay based on your income. I do not qualify for medicaid and make "to much" according to my income however because my insurance does not cover birth control I qualify. a 30 second glance or a 15 min glance is worth the same. Other things that go into consideration are the amount of documentation and thought process. That is what will distinguish the level of visit. The Health care Secretary. is just that a receptionist. With a few years of experience and guidance they may become a "clinician". To automatically become a "clinician" it takes a HS diploma and 6-9 months of "school" training.
