okay. I am going to go get tested for and STD. my brother says that when I give my insurance to the people..this kind of stuff will show on a insurance bill. is this true? i really do not want my mom all in my buisness. i hear 16 years and older you can go to the doctor by yourself. so taking my insurance card in to go get tested and it showing up on a bill is not what i want. cause then my mom will find out. i'm just trying to keep this to myself..atleast. Is there anything about a bill I should worry about? because I talked to the one of the employers that works at the clinic and she says I they need insurance info so they can see if it will cover what needs to be payed. Can some one please help. thanks. (link)

That person didn't really answer your question but anyways...
This depends on what STD you are getting tested for. If it's for HIV, all they do is get a cheek swab sample from you and if they need your insurance, it won't show up as that.
If you're getting tested for things like chlamydia or syphilis, that's a bit more expensive because they get a urine sample and have to bring it to the lab. If they see something bad, they might have you come back so they can look in "there", which costs even more.
So, on the INSURANCE bill, it'll just say where the insurance was used, like "Johns Hospital", BUT when the hospital sends you a letter about the rest of the charges you have to pay, it will say "vaginal so and so".
Anyways, if your parents see that on the insurance bill and they didn't know you went to the doctor's, they might call the insurance company and ask what these charges were for...
If you go to a planned parenthood, they're a lot more confidential about it because they understand how it is for teenage girls. Just find a planned parenthood and call them beforehand about the insurance.
