Does all health insurance not work when I'm out of state?

I go to medical school in PA and receive health insurance through them, but I'm in CT for the summer. I just went to a planned parenthood to get STD tested and the bastards wouldn't accept my insurance, so it ended up costing me $80!! Is this normal?
--------------------
~~Yes completely normal. You can not get routine medical care across state lines as each state has it's own set of laws and Insurance companies must be approved by the state to sell insurance there. If it were a life or death situation, or an emergency (broken arm, stitches, etc) then it would pay the coverage with proper documentation of it being an extreme health situation.~~
