Several online services prescribe progestin-only pills (the “mini pill”), including Walgreens Virtual Care, Hers, Nurx, Favor (formerly The Pill Club), Alpha Medical, Blink Health, Choix, and HeyDoctor by GoodRx Care [1][2][5].
Key options:
- Walgreens Virtual Care: Prescribes progestin-only pills like Camila, Errin, Heather, Jolivette, Micronor, Nora-BE, and norethindrone; available in select U.S. states for women 18–55 [1].
- Hers: Offers mini-pills such as Sharobel, Camila, Nora-BE, Errin, and Jolivette (norethindrone 0.35 mg, progestin-only) with delivery by mail; subscription starts at $12/month [5].
- Nurx: Provides online birth control consultations, reviews your health profile, and delivers a 3-month supply with free shipping; you can specifically request a progestin-only pill [3].
- GoodRx Care (HeyDoctor) and other listed services (Favor, Alpha Medical, Blink Health, Choix) also offer virtual visits and prescribe mini-pills where medically appropriate [2].
Important note: Opill, a progestin-only pill (norgestrel), is now over-the-counter (no prescription needed) and available online and in pharmacies nationwide [4][6]. If you prefer not to go through a prescription process, Opill is a convenient, FDA-approved mini-pill option you can buy directly.
Before choosing a service, confirm:
- It operates in your state [1].
- You meet age/eligibility requirements (most require 18+).
- Whether insurance covers the consult or pill (some offer $0 options with insurance) [2][3].
