Do you mean in the United States or another country? Availability and shipping rules vary by location — if you tell me where you are I can give the most useful, specific options.
If you’re in the U.S., these telehealth services are commonly used for the contraceptive patch or vaginal ring (not just pills):
- Nurx — Widely used, quick telehealth visits, accepts many insurances and offers mailing/subscription options for ring and other contraceptives where available.
- Planned Parenthood (Planned Parenthood Direct / local telehealth) — Trusted nonprofit, can prescribe and ship or arrange pickup; good if you want clinic-backed care and sliding‑scale options.
- Lemonaid Health — Fast online consultations and straightforward pricing; offers a range of contraceptive options in states where permitted.
- Hims & Hers — Easy subscription model and good patient support; offers non-pill methods in some states.
- Maven Clinic — Often used for broader women’s health care (fertility, OB/GYN); clinicians can prescribe and coordinate delivery/pickup.
How to choose: confirm that the service prescribes the patch or ring in your state, check whether they bill insurance or have an affordable cash price, and read shipping/prescription refill policies. Also make sure a clinician screens you for contraindications (smoking, age, certain medical histories) — the ring/patch aren’t medically appropriate for everyone.
If you tell me your country or state, I’ll look up which of these (or other local services) will actually provide the patch or ring where you are and compare cost/options.
