Short answer: Several major telehealth companies commonly prescribe progestin‑only pills (the “mini‑pill”), including Nurx, Planned Parenthood Direct, Maven Clinic, Lemonaid Health, GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor, Hers, and Ro. They each provide online consults and can ship pills to your door (availability varies by state).
Why these services:
- Nurx — well known for birth control delivery, transparent pricing, accepts some insurance; commonly prescribes norethindrone or newer POPs.
- Planned Parenthood Direct — clinical expertise in contraception, often a good choice if you want a provider with specialized reproductive‑health experience.
- Maven Clinic — large women’s health telemedicine platform offering contraceptive prescribing and follow‑up.
- Lemonaid Health — straightforward online visit, clear pricing, often prescribes POPs like norethindrone.
- GoodRx Care / HeyDoctor — poplar for quick, low‑cost telehealth visits and prescriptions; shows price estimates.
- Hers — focused on sexual/reproductive health with convenient refills and shipping.
- Ro (Rory) — national telehealth company that prescribes contraception and ships monthly supplies.
Common progestin‑only pill options they may prescribe:
- Norethindrone (brand examples: Micronor, Nor‑QD or generic norethindrone) — traditional mini‑pill.
- Drospirenone (brand Slynd) — a newer POP with a longer missed‑pill window; some services will prescribe it if appropriate.
Important notes:
- Services must do a clinical screening — they’ll ask about your medical history, medications, and may decline or suggest another method if there are contraindications.
- State laws and pharmacy networks affect availability; some services don’t prescribe in every state.
- Cost, insurance coverage, and whether they ship the specific pill brand you want vary by service.
