Who Can Come to Family Planning Clinics?
Any man or woman may request services. New Mexico state law allows minors to receive these services without parent’s permission. Confidentiality: Every clinic must assure client confidentiality and provide safeguards for individuals against the invasion of personal privacy, as required by the Privacy Act. No information obtained by the clinic staff about individuals receiving services may be disclosed without the individual’s written consent, except as required by law or as necessary to provide services to the individual, with appropriate safeguards for confidentiality. Information may otherwise be disclosed only in summary, statistical, or other form that does not identify the individual. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to get clinic services. If you have Medicaid, we accept it as full payment.
