Yes — there are free and low-cost ways to get birth control online, and the cheapest option for some people is now Opill, an over-the-counter pill you can buy online without a prescription.[4][5][8]
A few practical options:
- Opill (OTC): You can buy it online without a doctor’s prescription, and some insurance plans may cover it at $0 out of pocket.[4][5]
- Nurx: Offers online birth control with free shipping, and birth control can be as little as $0 with insurance; their medical consult is listed at $28.[1]
- Planned Parenthood Direct: Lets you request birth control from your phone, with medication shipped to you or sent to a pharmacy if you’re eligible.[6]
- Twentyeight Health: Provides online prescriptions with free shipping and delivery, with care reviewed by licensed providers.[7]
- Walgreens Virtual Care: Charges $33 for the consultation, and medication cost is separate; birth control may be covered by insurance.[3]
If you want the lowest-cost route, these are usually the best starting points:
- If you don’t need a prescription: check Opill first.[4][5]
- If you have insurance: compare Nurx and Walgreens Virtual Care, since many plans cover birth control at little or no cost.[1][3][4]
- If you want assistance or may qualify for lower-cost care: Planned Parenthood Direct or Twentyeight Health are worth checking.[6][7]
If you want, I can also help you find the cheapest option based on your state and whether you have insurance.
