I want to switch from my pharmacy to a birth control subscription service. Which one?

I can help — a few quick questions first so I recommend the best fit:

• What birth control are you currently using (combined pill, progestin-only pill, ring, patch, IUD/implant)?
• Do you want the exact same brand or are you okay with a generic?
• Do you want the service to bill your insurance, or do you prefer a low cash price?
• Which U.S. state are you in (some services’ availability varies)?

If you want a quick shortlist, here are reliable subscription services and why people choose them:

• Nurx — Good all-around choice. Broad method options (pills, ring, patch), telemedicine visits, automatic refills, discreet delivery, and they accept many insurance plans. Best if you want a full-featured telehealth + delivery setup and insurance billing.

• Hers (Hims & Hers) — Easy-to-use app, quick refills, and personalized care. Offers pill delivery and medication reminders. Best if you like a consumer-friendly app experience and bundled women’s health services.

• The Pill Club — Focused on contraception subscriptions with strong refill/reminder systems and nurse support. Good if you want specialized contraceptive customer care and extra support resources.

• Lemonaid Health — Simple, low-cost telemedicine + shipping with transparent pricing. Good if you want an affordable, straightforward option and don’t need lots of extras.

• Planned Parenthood Direct (app) — Trusted clinical team and privacy-forward; can be a good non-profit alternative where available. Best if you prefer care from Planned Parenthood clinicians and local clinic integration.

How to switch (typical steps)

1. Pick a service and sign up.
2. Complete the online health questionnaire or telehealth visit.
3. Submit your current prescription or get a new one from their clinician.
4. Choose insurance billing or pay cash and set up the subscription/refills.
5. Once the new service is active and you’ve received your first shipment, cancel refills at your old pharmacy.

Safety notes

• If you have health conditions, are over 35 and smoke, or are taking interacting meds, mention those during the telehealth visit so the clinician can make a safe recommendation.
• If you’re using an IUD/implant and want to change methods, you’ll need an in‑person visit for removal/placement.

Tell me your method, insurance preference, and state and I’ll recommend the single best match and walk you through switching.
