You can get birth control prescribed online through telehealth services that use an intake questionnaire and a licensed clinician review, often without an in-person doctor visit.[1][2][3][4][6][7][8][9]
A few straightforward options are:
- Walgreens Virtual Care — fill out an online intake form, provide a recent blood pressure reading, and a clinician may prescribe pills, patches, rings, or diaphragms if appropriate.[1]
- GoodRx Care — complete an online visit, then get the prescription sent to a local pharmacy, often with same-day pickup.[2]
- Hers — answer an online health history form; a licensed provider reviews it and can prescribe birth control with no doctor’s office visit and no insurance required.[3]
- Planned Parenthood Direct — request birth control in the app, complete a health questionnaire, and if eligible have it shipped or sent to a pharmacy.[4]
- Nurx — submit an online form, pay a consult fee, and a licensed provider prescribes if medically appropriate; medication can be delivered.[6]
- Hey Jane — offers online intake and provider consults by chat, phone, or video, with transparent pricing and prescription treatment if appropriate.[7]
- Twentyeight Health — complete a short questionnaire; a provider reviews it and can prescribe birth control for delivery.[8]
- Wisp — provides online review and same-day pharmacy pickup or free home delivery.[9]
What the process usually looks like:
- Complete an online medical questionnaire about your health history and birth control goals.[1][3][4][6][8][9]
- A licensed provider reviews it and may message or follow up with questions.[1][4][6][7][8][9]
- If approved, the prescription is sent to a pharmacy or shipped to your home.[1][2][3][4][6][8][9]
A key requirement on some services is a recent blood pressure reading, because certain birth control methods can affect blood pressure.[1]
If you want the easiest path, these are the most direct choices:
- Fastest pharmacy pickup: GoodRx Care or Wisp.[2][9]
- Home delivery and subscription/refills: Nurx, Hers, Planned Parenthood Direct, or Twentyeight Health.[3][4][6][8]
- Most established retail option: Walgreens Virtual Care.[1]
If you want, I can help you compare price, delivery speed, insurance acceptance, and whether you need a blood pressure reading for each option.
