Short answer — for most people in the U.S., Nurx is the easiest single place to try first for the patch or the ring. If you prefer a nonprofit clinic chain, Planned Parenthood Direct is the best alternative.
Why these two:
- Nurx — known for covering more than just pills: their online form/televisit can prescribe the ring (NuvaRing) or the patch (Xulane) and they ship to your door. Works with many insurances, offers low out‑of‑pocket pricing or $0 with insurance, fast turnaround, and good customer support.
- Planned Parenthood Direct — trusted clinic network; their telehealth service can prescribe and direct you to get mailed or pickup options depending on your area. Good if you want clinic‑based counseling and a nonprofit provider.
Other options to check (if Nurx/Planned Parenthood aren’t available where you are):
- Maven Clinic — women’s telehealth with contraceptive prescriptions (good for continuity of care).
- Lemonaid Health / GoodRx Care (HeyDoctor) — lower‑cost telehealth options; availability of ring/patch varies by state.
- Local pharmacy delivery services (Capsule, Express Scripts, local chain) — require an e‑prescription but can handle fulfillment.
Important notes:
- Availability depends on your state/country and your medical eligibility (e.g., age, smoking, blood‑pressure history). The patch has different risk considerations than pills.
- If you tell me your state (or country) and whether you have insurance, I can check which of these services will likely be able to prescribe and ship the patch or ring to you and estimate cost/turnaround.
