You parents cant have access to your records and why would they order them?
This is not covered under insurance, right? If it is, are you still covered by your parents insurance?

Your parents have no access to your medical records. Even if you were a minor, your parents don't have to give consent on things that are personal in nature (like HIV or pregnancy tests). Unless you sign a preautherization stating your parents' specific names that says that the medical facility can discuss medical information with them, they are as blocked out as any schmo off the street. The office can't even tell them if you're a patient there or not, and there are heavy federal laws in place that ensure that (look up HIPAA)

Go to the closest Planned Parenthood. Tell them you have no insurance. If you still can't afford it with their sliding scale (bring ID and proof of income) ask them about non-profits that help. Ask about this by phone if you live far away. Get it done girl. No worries later on!

Yeah, but....
I was thinking if youre still on their insurance, the "insurance form" that shows what is covered and not covered would go to THEIR address, not yours. It will have words on it like "blood test" this and that procedure or "surgery" on it and a diagnosis code or procedure code that they can easily look up in this day and age. It will have the doctors name etc on it, so it could raise questions......

That's why I am adverse to using the insurance. I can easily pay out of pocket for this so I am not found out. I am willing to pay any amount of money to take advantage of an opportunity that a person of my age rarely has. I need to take advantage of my time now. Also, yurble, did they charge you for the HSG test separately or was that covered in the whole cost of the procedure? I just want to make sure that I can cover all of this in some sort of confidence. My doctor will be doing both the procedure and the confirmation so I'm not sure if that should be factored in.

Talk to the practice and ask them where she went. If she is in the region, you could stil get to her. If that doesn't work, talk to the other doctors in the group, and ask them for Essure. You could let them know that this previous doctor was ready and willing to do the procedure for you.
If all else fails, tbere is a webpage where you plug in your location, and it gives you names of doctors in your area who will do the procedure for you.
