I can help — first: are you in the United States (which state)? Rules and provider policies vary by country and by U.S. state, and many online services set a minimum age (often 18). If you tell me where you are I can give more specific options near you.
Quick, general guidance now:
-
Planned Parenthood / Planned Parenthood Direct app — Best first place to try. Planned Parenthood clinics and their telehealth service are explicitly youth-friendly and, in most states, will provide contraception to teens without parental consent where state law allows. They can do telehealth visits and prescriptions or direct you to a local clinic for same-day care.
-
Local Title X family‑planning clinics and community health centers (Federally Qualified Health Centers) — These clinics routinely provide confidential contraceptive care to minors in many states, and many offer telehealth or quick in‑person appointments. They’re low‑cost or free based on income.
-
Your pediatrician/adolescent medicine or health‑system telehealth (MyChart/health system portals) — Many pediatric/adolescent providers will prescribe contraception confidentially and may have telehealth visits for teens. This is a good option if you already have a provider you trust.
Services that commonly require users to be 18 or older (so not reliable for under‑18s):
- Nurx
- Lemonaid
- GoodRx Care (HeyDoctor)
- Simple Health
Why the difference? Even if state law lets minors consent to contraception, private telehealth companies often set their own minimum age (usually 18). Planned Parenthood and public clinics are more likely both to accept minors and to handle confidentiality issues for teens.
Next steps I can take for you:
- Look up services that will prescribe in your specific state/city
- Explain your state’s rules about minors and confidentiality
- Help draft questions to ask a telehealth service or clinic before a visit
Tell me where you are (city/state or country) and whether you’re the teen or a parent, and I’ll give more specific options.
