-
Hers — Best if you want sexual/reproductive care plus other telehealth services

-
GoodRx Care (telehealth) — Best for affordable telehealth visits with flexible pickup/delivery
- Low-cost online visit; e‑prescription can be sent to a local or mail‑order pharmacy. Good if you want a low consultation fee and then use whichever pharmacy is cheapest.
Other options and pharmacy delivery
- The Pill Club (and similar subscription services) — convenient monthly refills and reminders; good for people who want subscription-style deliveries.
- Pharmacy home‑delivery services (Alto, Capsule, Express Scripts, Amazon Pharmacy) — not direct prescribers, but they’ll deliver refills if you already have a prescription and can coordinate with your provider.
Things to consider when choosing
- Method availability: IUDs and implants require in‑person visits; most online services cover pills, patch, ring, and emergency contraception.
- Insurance vs. out‑of‑pocket: some sites bill insurance directly; others are cash‑pay but may be cheaper for generics.
- Consultation fees and subscription models: one‑time consult fees vs monthly subscriptions.
- Privacy and packaging: most services use discreet packaging; check the company’s privacy policy if that’s important.
- Medical screening: they’ll ask about blood pressure, smoking, medication interactions, and medical history to ensure safety.
If you tell me your state, whether you have insurance, and which method you prefer (pill, ring, patch, etc.), I can narrow this to the best options for you and point to current pricing and next steps.
