How do I get birth control prescribed online without a doctor visit?

Getting Birth Control Prescribed Online

Several telehealth services make this easy and convenient. Here are some good options:

Dedicated Birth Control Platforms

• Nurx - Very popular, accepts most insurance, quick online questionnaire, ships to most states
• The Pill Club - Offers free delivery, accepts insurance, includes extras like vitamins
• Pandia Health - Woman-founded, good for ongoing prescriptions

General Telehealth Services

• Planned Parenthood Direct (app) - Trusted brand, available in many states
• Wisp - Handles multiple sexual health needs
• Hims & Hers - Large platform with licensed providers

How It Typically Works

1. Complete an online health questionnaire (medical history, blood pressure, etc.)
2. A licensed provider reviews your information
3. They issue a prescription if appropriate
4. Medication is mailed directly to you or sent to a local pharmacy

Things to Know

• Most require you to self-report blood pressure (some send a cuff)
• Usually costs $15-$25/month without insurance
• Many accept major insurance plans
• Not available for all birth control types - IUDs and implants still need in-person visits

Nurx or Planned Parenthood Direct are great starting points if you're unsure which to choose.
