South Dakota PLAN
SD PLAN: Prepare, Learn, Advocate, Navigate
South Dakota PLAN connects people to safe and confidential services related to preventing pregnancy, achieving pregnancy, and assisting women, men, and couples with achieving their desired number and spacing of children. Expert staff at each clinic are trained to provide judgment-free care and help you make decisions about when or if you want to have children. Regardless of your financial situation, South Dakota PLAN offers screenings, tests, and resources to keep you healthy.
South Dakota PLAN services are available for everyone, and clinics use a sliding fee scale to keep services affordable. Fees are based on family size and income.

No. The Title X Program is designed to meet the needs of those who are trying to achieve or prevent pregnancies along with offering other health care services. Staff will provide you with the resources necessary to achieve a healthy pregnancy, if desired, and will be able to refer you to an appropriate OB/GYN provider with a positive pregnancy test.
Title X offers enhanced confidentiality which means you can have a confidential health care visit without needing consent. However, we do encourage young people to involve their parents or a trusted adult in health care decisions.
