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

Good — I can recommend options, but first a few quick questions so I can pick the best fit:

• What method are you using now (combined pill, progestin-only pill, ring, patch, IUD, implant)?
• Do you want to keep the exact brand you use now or are you OK with a generic?
• Will you use insurance (most ACA plans cover contraception) or do you prefer a cash-pay subscription?
• Are you in the U.S.?

If you want a quick shortlist now, here are reputable subscription/telehealth services and why people choose them:

• Nurx — Strong choice if you want variety (combined pills, progestin-only pills, ring, patch, emergency contraception). Easy online visit, accepts many insurance plans, free discreet shipping, and good follow-up care. Good if you want the most options and insurance billing.

• Lemonaid Health — Fast, low flat-fee cash-pay service with quick telemedicine and shipping. Good if you don’t want to use insurance and prefer a simple, affordable monthly cost for generics.

• Hers (by Hims & Hers) — User-friendly app and branded options; good if you want name-brand pills with subscription management and telehealth follow-up. Often chosen for convenience and customer service.

• Planned Parenthood Direct (app) — Trusted provider with strong confidentiality policies; good for people who want clinical oversight from a well-known reproductive-health organization and access to local clinic services if needed.

• GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor — Often the cheapest cash option for generic pills, with a straightforward online visit and low out-of-pocket costs.

Safety notes you should consider before switching:

• If you take a combined estrogen/progestin pill, you’ll need a recent blood-pressure check (most telehealth services require you to report one).
• If you’re on an IUD/implant or need removal/placement, subscriptions won’t replace in-person care.
• Discuss medical contraindications (smoking + age, clotting history, migraines with aura, etc.) with the provider.

If you tell me your current method, whether you want to keep your brand, and whether you’ll use insurance, I’ll recommend the single best service for your situation and walk you through next steps.
