Women's Health
All women are recommended to have annual pelvic examinations beginning at age 21 unless previously diagnosed with an abnormal pap smear. As provider and type of service varies according to need and insurance coverage, please come in for a private consultation with the Nurse Practitioner in the Health Center where we will be happy to discuss your concerns and individual health needs. We will discuss available options and assist you with referrals to local providers If indicated.
Physical exam, pelvic exam, PAP smear and birth control prescription charges vary according to insurance coverage. Please note - some Health Insurance policies do not cover screening tests,which would include a pelvic exam and PAP smear. If paying by cash, you may obtain these services at the health center for an examination charge of $50.00 and a laboratory fee for the PAP test of $28.00 to $40.00. Please check your health Insurance information before being seen at a private providers office to ensure coverage.
If under 21, family planning services (birth control prescriptions) may be obtained at the Health Center without a gynecology examination or PAP smear.
Please call or email healthcenter@fit.edu for more information.
PLEASE NOTE: EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION (Plan B) is available at the Student Health Center without a prescription or consultation for all women age 17 or older for a charge of $20.00. Under age 17 requires a prescription, which can be obtained at the Student Health Center after a consultation. Please see the complete list of Over the Counter medications.
