Are Maryland State Family Planning Program services free?
Clients are assessed a fee for services using a sliding fee scale based on reported income, with many individuals eligible for no- or low-cost services. Clients with incomes at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level are not charged. No one is denied services due to an inability to pay. Insurance and medical assistance programs may be billed for services, and voluntary donations may be accepted. Charges to confidential teens are based on the teen’s income and ability to pay.
