Verbatim response from Perplexity

Twentyeight Health is the primary online birth control service that prescribes for teens and individuals under 18 in many states, with its minimum age starting at 13 depending on your location [1][9].

In many states, teens can access birth control without parental involvement, and Twentyeight Health is explicitly making this easier by accepting Medicaid and operating without parental consent in 23 states plus D.C. [1][9]. Their process allows you to:

  1. Complete a 5-minute online health questionnaire [1].
  2. Connect with a licensed provider to review your history [1].
  3. Receive your prescription via discreet delivery or local pharmacy [1].

Age Requirements by State for Twentyeight Health:

  • 13+ years old: Available in California, Colorado, DC, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, and Washington [9].
  • 14+ years old: Available in Alabama [9].
  • 15+ years old: Available in Ohio [9].
  • 16+ years old: Available in Kansas and South Carolina [9].
  • Under 18 exceptions: In states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas, you may still access care under 18 if you are married, a parent, emancipated, or have parental consent via email verification [9].

While other services like Alpha Medical (via Free The Pill) and some options listed by Free The Pill also prescribe under 18 depending on state law, details are often less specific or vary significantly by state [2]. Hers (Try a Birth Control Subscription) generally requires intake but does not explicitly list a minimum age under 18 in its primary overview [3]. Nurx and Walgreens Virtual Care typically require patients to be 18 or older (Walgreens specifically lists 18–55) [7][8].

For teens under 18, Twentyeight Health is the most accessible and clearly defined online option due to its explicit state-by-state age cutoffs and Medicaid acceptance [1][9].
