I can help — first, what country (and/or state) are you in? Availability and which services can prescribe the patch (Xulane) or the ring (NuvaRing/Annovera) vary by location.
If you’re in the United States, these are good online options to check (short why for each):
- Planned Parenthood Direct — trusted provider, broad contraceptive options, often accepts insurance and has good follow‑up care. Good if you want an established clinic’s telehealth route.
- Nurx — easy app/website, quick telehealth visits and mail delivery; they commonly prescribe the ring and sometimes the patch depending on state.
- Lemonaid Health — simple, low flat fee model and quick turnaround; they frequently list the patch (Xulane) among options in many states.
- Maven Clinic — comprehensive telemedicine with good continuity of care and follow‑up, a good choice if you want ongoing support beyond the first prescription.
- SimpleHealth (and similar subscription services) — convenient monthly delivery and reminders; useful if you want a subscription model for ring refills or patch supplies.
What to check before you pick: whether the specific product (patch or ring) is offered in your state, whether the service accepts your insurance (or what the cash price is), shipping time/cost, and whether they provide a clinician follow‑up if you have side effects.
If you tell me your country/state and whether you prefer the patch or the ring, I’ll check which of these likely carries it and recommend the best fit.
