Short answer: Nurx, Planned Parenthood Direct, and Maven Clinic are the best online options that commonly prescribe and ship the patch or the ring (not just pills). Which is best for you depends on price, insurance, and how much extra reproductive-care support you want. Recommendations Nurx — Widely used for birth control delivery. Pros: easy app/website visit, quick telehealth consult, ships NuvaRing/Annovera and patch options to your door, accepts many insurances and coupons, fast turnaround. Good if you want a smooth, delivery-focused service. Planned Parenthood Direct (or your local Planned Parenthood telehealth) — Pros: trusted sexual/reproductive health provider, sliding-scale fees in some areas, can prescribe the patch or ring and can arrange in‑person follow-up/referral if needed. Good if you want comprehensive care and an established clinic network. Maven Clinic — Pros: women’s/sexual health–focused telehealth with clinicians who can discuss all contraception choices (including ring and patch), more in-depth counseling and follow-up, often works with employers/insurers. Good if you want more care/support alongside the prescription. A few quick notes Brands you’ll see: NuvaRing and Annovera (vaginal rings); Xulane and Twirla (patches). Availability can vary by state and insurer. These products require a prescription — telehealth visits typically suffice. Check each service for cost, shipping times, whether they accept your insurance, and any state restrictions. If you tell me your state or insurer (or whether you want lowest cost vs. more counseling), I can check which of these services currently offers the patch or ring where you are.
