If you're not in for A Procedure, PP's patient process is incredibly efficient. Even if you are in for one, the process is still efficient, it's just efficient on the scale of 'invasive surgical procedures.'
Some PP's will let you set up appointments online. In their form, they ask you if they can call you, and how they should identify themselves if they call-- You can either pick a drop down or suggest something to them- options they suggest include "Planned Parenthood", "the doctor's office" and "Cory". Really.
PP is awesome. They have the super-simple process to get BC (as you know) and their prices for my BC of choice are also super cheap. And bonus- you can call in/online-order refills and come in and pick them up. It's something I really should get to doing except I am all lazy-like.
there's the other option...

best $5 I ever spent was on a vasectomy. the process itself was painless (the worst part was freaking myself out beforehand) and recovery was 'less than a weekend of sitting on a bag of frozen corn'. nowadays most vasectomies can be reversed with > 90% success rate if done in less than 5 years, but there's always the sperm-bank (~$300/yr) storage option as well.
