Medicare/Medicaid Pap Smear with Medicaid?
Hi all! I recently turned 21, and I know it is recommended to get a pap smear. Any advice is helpful I dont have another woman or someone who knows anything about women's health that I can ask. I have medicaid and am very confused because my PCP that I used when I was younger passed away, so I don't currently have one. Mainly would just use my insurance for when I would need medicine or had to go to Urgent Care. Do I have to get a new PCP then they have to refer me to someone else to get a pap smear and cervical cancer screening? I called a OBGYN clinic close to me and they said they don't accept medicaid, so I asked how much money would the pap smear be, and they told me they cannot accept a payment from me if I have medicaid??? Just feeling overwhelmed with the process so anything helps, thank you!!!

Get a PCP, pap smear is cover in your annual physical.
