Here are some online birth control services that can prescribe to minors:
Services That May Prescribe to Teens
Nurx
- Generally serves patients 18+, but may work with minors in some states depending on minor consent laws
Planned Parenthood Direct (app)
- Often experienced with teens and sensitive to minor privacy concerns
- Availability varies by state
Your local Planned Parenthood (in-person or telehealth)
- Probably the most teen-friendly option overall
- Experienced staff, confidential services, sliding scale fees
Important Considerations
- Minor consent laws vary by state - many states allow minors to consent to contraception without parental permission
- Most telehealth platforms default to 18+ but exceptions exist
- A pediatrician or OB-GYN can also prescribe confidentially in many states
Best Advice
- Call Planned Parenthood (1-800-230-PLAN) - they can direct you to the right service for your specific state
- Check your state's minor consent laws at the Guttmacher Institute website
Would you like more specific guidance based on your state? That would help narrow down the best options.
