Which online birth control services prescribe for teens or under 18?

Verbatim response from ChatGPT

I can answer this more precisely if I know what country or state you’re in (rules and services vary a lot). A few important points up front, then some specific US-focused options:

Key facts

  • Many commercial telehealth companies require patients to be 18+ and will not prescribe for minors.
  • However, in the United States most states allow minors to consent to contraceptive services (and many clinics provide confidential care), so teens usually can get birth control — often through clinics rather than nationwide telehealth brands.
  • Emergency contraception (Plan B/levonorgestrel) is available over the counter with no age restriction in the U.S. IUDs/implants require an in‑person visit.

US services to consider

  • Planned Parenthood (local health centers and the Planned Parenthood Direct telehealth app): Planned Parenthood has extensive experience serving teens. Many affiliates provide confidential contraceptive care to minors (state laws vary), and some offer telehealth visits and prescriptions. Good first place to check.
  • Local Title X family planning clinics / community health centers (FQHCs): Not a single brand, but these clinics routinely serve adolescents and often provide low‑cost or confidential services. Many offer telehealth and in‑person options.
  • Pediatric/adolescent medicine telehealth at local children’s hospitals or health systems: Many hospital-based adolescent medicine programs will see teens by telemedicine and can prescribe contraception; search for adolescent telehealth services in your area.

Commercial telehealth brands (generally 18+)

  • Nurx — convenient birth control prescriptions and delivery, but typically requires you to be 18+.
  • Hers (Hims & Hers) — prescribes birth control for adults (18+).
  • Lemonaid Health — adult telehealth for birth control, typically 18+.
  • K Health / GoodRx Care — these telehealth platforms generally require patients to be 18+.

What to do next

  1. Tell me what state/country you’re asking about (or whether you’re the teen or a parent) and I’ll give more specific options and age rules.
  2. If you need contraception now and are under 18 in the U.S., contact your local Planned Parenthood or a community health center — they often provide teen-friendly, confidential care.
  3. For emergencies, emergency contraception (Plan B) is available OTC in the U.S. with no age limit; local pharmacies can provide it right away.

If you give your location I’ll list specific clinics or telehealth services available to minors where you live.
