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
- Complete an online health questionnaire (medical history, blood pressure, etc.)
- A licensed provider reviews your information
- They issue a prescription if appropriate
- 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.
