Several well-known telehealth services commonly prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”). Availability depends on your state and medical history, so you’ll need an online visit or questionnaire.
Options to consider
- Nurx — widely used for birth control, offers progestin‑only options and ships to many states. Fast visits and home delivery.
- Planned Parenthood Direct (app/website) — trusted reproductive‑health provider that can prescribe the mini‑pill by telehealth in many areas; good if you want care tied to a large sexual‑health system.
- Lemonaid Health — low‑cost, quick online consults and prescriptions for norethindrone (common mini‑pill) in many states.
- Maven Clinic — women’s/FP-focused telehealth; accepts some insurance and can prescribe POPs through virtual visits.
- Hims & Hers (Hers) — mainstream telehealth for contraception; often offers progestin‑only pills with home delivery.
What to expect and tips
- You’ll complete an online medical questionnaire or tele-visit; be ready to report medications, breastfeeding status, and health history.
- State rules vary — not every service prescribes all meds in every state.
- Common mini‑pill formulations include norethindrone brands (Camila, Errin, Nora‑BE, Micronor); the exact product will depend on the prescriber and pharmacy.
- POPs must be taken at the same time every day; ask about missed‑pill instructions.
- If you’re breastfeeding or have a history of blood clots or other conditions, mention that — POPs are often recommended when combined pills aren’t appropriate, but a clinician should confirm.
If you’d like, tell me your state (or zip) and whether you’re breastfeeding or on other meds, and I can check which of these services can prescribe to you and what they typically charge.
