Do you mean in the United States, or another country? If you’re in the U.S., here are the most commonly recommended online birth‑control telehealth + delivery services and why people like them. I include what to check for (price, insurance, state availability) and a quick suggestion for how to choose.
Top options (U.S.) — brief highlights
- Nurx — Very popular, easy app/website, wide range of options (combined and progestin‑only pills, ring, patch, emergency contraception), simple refill scheduling and privacy‑conscious packaging. Good for convenience and ongoing refills.
- Hers (Hers Health) — Consumer‑oriented brand that bundles telehealth + pharmacy; known for straightforward pricing, refill reminders and discreet shipping. Good if you want a branded women’s‑health experience.
- Lemonaid Health — Low, flat telehealth fee and affordable medication prices; fast turnaround. Good if you’re uninsured or want a no‑frills, cost‑transparent option.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/online) — A nonprofit, trusted provider with sliding‑scale fees in some places and strong confidentiality practices. Good if you prefer established reproductive‑health providers.
- GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor) — Low‑cost telemedicine visits combined with GoodRx price discounts; useful if you want to compare low out‑of‑pocket prices across pharmacies.
- K Health — AI‑backed primary/urgent telemedicine that can prescribe birth control at lower cost in many states; good if you already use them for other care.
- Maven Clinic — Focused on women’s and family health, good for people wanting broader reproductive‑health support (counseling, followups) alongside prescriptions.
- Pharmacy delivery options (Capsule, Alto, Amazon Pharmacy, CVS/ Walgreens home delivery) — If you already have a prescription, these services reliably deliver prescriptions to your door (sometimes same‑day or next‑day), and they work with insurance/mail‑order plans.
How to choose
- State availability: Teleprescribing and what can be sent varies by state. Check the service’s state list.
- Cost & insurance: Many services charge a telehealth/consultation fee; some accept insurance or have low cash prices. ACA typically covers contraceptives through in‑network providers—confirm with the telehealth service and your insurer.
- Methods offered: If you want the pill, patch, ring, or emergency contraception, confirm the service prescribes your preferred method. IUD and implant require in‑person care/referral.
- Shipping speed & privacy: Look for discreet packaging, delivery windows, and refill automation.
- Follow‑up care: If you want ongoing counseling or side‑effect management, prefer services with easy followups or care teams (Maven, Nurx, Planned Parenthood).
Want me to narrow this to the best option for you? Tell me your state, whether you have insurance, and which method you want (pill, ring, patch, emergency contraception, etc.), and I’ll recommend 1–2 specific services.
