Wallet Card
It all started when...
Our youth outreach workgroup expressed concern that teens in our county, had little knowledge of the resources they can access, especially confidential access, things like birth control or STI testing and treatment.
And so we created a handy tri-fold card that can be carried in a wallet, with important local contacts and mobile phone apps.
See our guide to online resources here and more information about Family PACT here.
We have versions of the card for Family PACT Providers in different areas, and versions for Spanish language speakers as well.

They will help you complete the paperwork, sign you up, and give you a HAP card, like this:
Do I need the consent of my parents or others? Family planning services do not require the consent of anyone other than the person who is to receive services. If you are 17 years of age or younger, you are considered a minor and may apply for family planning services on the basis of your need for these services, without parental consent.
What does it cost? It's FREE. As a Family PACT client, you are never to be billed for Family PACT benefits. However, always verify your eligibility before a procedure to ensure you still qualify for Family PACT and your HAP card is current.
How long does it last? One year, renewal is easy.
What if I travel out of state? The program does not provide prescriptions or refills to Family PACT clients out of the state, even if it is temporary. The program would also not be able to reimburse you for prescriptions provided by an out of state provider or pharmacist.
What other healthcare services does it provide? Family PACT is not a primary care program.
You may qualify for full medical coverage…
…through Medi-Cal or Covered California!
Apply online at www.coveredca.com or call (800) 300-1506 (TTY: 888-889-4500).
Keep it confidential
You are automatically eligible for confidential Family PACT benefits, even if you have other healthcare coverage but are concerned that your parent, spouse or partner may learn about your family planning appointment. This applies to all clients regardless of age or marital status.
