Short answer: Yes — several U.S. telehealth services commonly prescribe progestin‑only (“mini”) pills. Which is best depends on your state, insurance, preferred brand, and shipping/price. Here are reputable options to check, and why they’re worth trying:
-
Nurx — Widely known for contraception telemedicine, fast online questionnaire and home delivery; they commonly prescribe norethindrone‑type mini‑pills and newer options when appropriate. Good for quick refills and broad availability.
-
Planned Parenthood Direct (app / telehealth through Planned Parenthood) — Clinical oversight from Planned Parenthood clinicians; good if you want care from a nonprofit sexual/reproductive health provider and reliable counseling about breastfeeding/postpartum needs.
-
Lemonaid Health — Simple online visit and same‑day shipping in many states; they routinely prescribe progestin‑only pills and are known for transparent pricing.
-
The Pill Club — Pharmacy + telehealth service focused on birth control with subscription and free shipping; convenient if you want ongoing mailed refills and a dedicated contraception service.
-
Hims & Hers (Hers) — Consumer-facing telehealth with easy ordering and mail delivery; offers several birth control pill options and convenient refill management.
-
GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor) — Lower cost cash options and broad availability; useful if you want to compare prices and don’t need an insurance claim.
A few things to know before you pick:
- Availability and which brands they prescribe (e.g., norethindrone products like Camila/Errin/Nora‑BE or newer Slynd/drospirenone POP) vary by state and provider — check each service’s FAQ or ask during the visit.
- You’ll complete an online medical questionnaire or brief telehealth visit; providers will screen for contraindications (med interactions, pregnancy risk factors).
- Cost, insurance coverage, and shipping times differ — compare if price matters to you.
- If you’re postpartum, breastfeeding, or on interacting medications (e.g., some anticonvulsants, rifampin), mention that — your provider may recommend a specific progestin pill or another method.
If you tell me which state you’re in (or whether you want a particular brand like Camila, Errin, Nora‑BE, or Slynd), I can check which of these services currently offer that option where you are.
