Short answer: Planned Parenthood Direct, Nurx, and Maven Clinic are the best places to start — they’re most likely to prescribe and arrange delivery/transfer of a contraceptive patch or vaginal ring (not just pills).
Why these three:
- Planned Parenthood Direct — widest option set and clinical expertise for contraception. They’ll do a telehealth visit, can prescribe NuvaRing/Annovera or a patch (if appropriate), and either mail it or send the prescription to a local pharmacy. Good if you want a clinic-standard evaluation and counseling.
- Nurx — fast, app-based service that commonly lists the ring and patch as options (NuvaRing, Xulane/Twirla where available). Very convenient for repeat prescriptions and home delivery or pharmacy pickup. Good if you want quick, ongoing refills.
- Maven Clinic — a virtual women’s-health clinic with OB/GYN clinicians. They provide more in-depth consults and management (helpful if you have medical questions or conditions that affect contraception choice) and will prescribe ring/patch when appropriate.
A few important notes:
- Availability depends on your state/country, your medical history (some patches/rings aren’t recommended for smokers or certain BMI ranges), and the specific product (NuvaRing and Annovera are common rings; Xulane and Twirla are common patches).
- Many services will send a prescription to a local pharmacy rather than shipping certain products directly; check the service’s FAQ for delivery options and costs/insurance coverage.
- If you prefer in-person follow-up or have complex medical needs, a tele-visit with your PCP or local OB/GYN may be best.
If you tell me your state (or country) I can check which of these services will prescribe the ring or patch where you are and whether they offer home delivery.
