If you are an AHCCCS member, family planning and reproductive health services are covered under your health plan. You should contact your health plan for more information. AHCCCS members who have recently delivered a child, should ask their health plan if they qualify for the SOBRA program. 

Family Planning services are also available at community health centers and through the Indian Health Services. If you receive medical care through any of these programs you should ask your health care provider about family planning services.
