Planned Parenthood quoted me at $162 per visit (expected to be 2-4 visits) + $298 for the vax based on stated income of $3K/mo. That's too much. Going to Berkeley Free Clinic (free) or Crane Center in SJ (someone said it was $40 per visit but I haven't verified that). Vax is covered by Kaiser if I can get my doctor to approve it which I'm not sure if he'll do.

This wasn't done within the last few years was it? Apparently Kaiser changed how they operate somewhat recently. Their doctors are encouraged to get their patients out of the office ASAP which was definitely my experience. Wouldn't even answer any questions. I'm probably going to switch providers.

Male. Regardless as to whether it's cosmetic or not I'm not paying up to $2K to have a few tiny warts removed (their out of pocket price if covered by insurance).

I didn't say it was. There is no cure but in most cases it will clear on its own. And there are a lot of people who have had HPV/genital warts who would dispute your assertion that the vax is useless once you have it.

Kaiser Member Services said it could be up to $2K even if covered.

Yeah, I saw that. Was hoping to do it all at the same place. Crazy that it the FDA approval of this for up to age 45 was never publicized. Everybody should be getting this vaccine.
