Questions & Answers

How much does my appointment cost? Do I need insurance?

All our services are free and confidential. We do not require insurance.

Can you provide verification of pregnancy? (VOP)

Based on the results of your FWC lab-quality urine pregnancy test, we provide a written verification of your positive (or negative) pregnancy test called a VOP, or Verification of Pregnancy. This VOP form is often requested by other agencies so that you can get started on social services or health insurance.

Do you offer STD/STI testing?

We offer no cost STD/STI testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea to pregnant patients who qualify. All patients will be educated on the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

Can I get an ultrasound there?

Patients who qualify will be offered an ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy’s viability, verify its location inside the uterus, and determine gestational age (how far along you are).

Can I bring a guest with me?

Yes! FWC understands that a good support system is essential during an unplanned pregnancy. We encourage the support of your friends and family! However, please note that, in an effort to comply with HIPAA Privacy Standards and provide the highest quality of care, your initial assessment must be performed without any guests. At your request, guests will be welcome to join you during your ultrasound exam. * Please note that during Covid, guests may be asked to wait in the car until invited in to join you during the ultrasound. Also, due to Covid, we ask that you do not bring children to your appointment.

As a minor, what pregnancy related services can I have without telling my parents?

In Illinois, you can get a pregnancy test, options counseling, prenatal care, and STD/STI testing and treatment without telling your parents. Your trip to Focus Women’s Center can remain completely confidential!
