Annovera

If you mean the contraceptive patch (Xulane, Twirla) or the vaginal ring (NuvaRing — monthly; Annovera — reusable for 1 year), several telehealth services commonly prescribe and ship those methods rather than only pills. Top options: Nurx — Broad contraceptive menu including ring and patch when clinically appropriate; easy online visit and home delivery, good for convenience and fast refills. Planned Parenthood Direct (app/telehealth) — Reputable sexual/reproductive health provider; often offers sliding-scale or low-cost options and can connect you to in-person care if needed. Maven Clinic — Strong for people wanting ongoing reproductive care or employer-covered benefits; clinicians can prescribe patch or ring and provide follow-up. GoodRx Care (formerly HeyDoctor) — Widely available, often lower out‑of‑pocket fees for a single televisit and prescription, useful if you want an affordable one-off consult. Which to pick depends on priorities: Convenience/fast home delivery: Nurx. Low-cost or sliding scale and clinic network: Planned Parenthood Direct. Ongoing/wider reproductive care (fertility, pregnancy, counseling): Maven. Single, cheap televisit: GoodRx Care. A couple of notes: availability of specific brands/methods varies by state/country and by clinical eligibility, and insurance coverage differs. Want me to check which of these services will ship the ring or patch to your state (or country)?

Short answer — go with a telehealth provider that explicitly lists the patch or ring as options rather than only pills. Top choices: Nurx — Widely known for birth control delivery, accepts many insurances, and commonly offers the ring and patch options (fast online consult + shipping). Good if you want convenience and insurance billing. Planned Parenthood Direct (app/online) — A trusted nonprofit; clinicians can prescribe patch or ring and they’ll help you find low-cost options or an in-person clinic if needed. Good for privacy and sliding-scale care. Ro (Ro Pharmacy / Women’s Health) — Large telehealth + pharmacy integration, quick turnaround and shipping. Often lists patch and ring among contraceptive options. Maven Clinic — Focused on women’s health and continuity of care (good if you want follow-up visits or help switching methods). They can prescribe ring/patch where available. Lemonaid Health — Simple online consult with transparent flat fees; sometimes offers ring/patch depending on state. A few practical notes: Common brands: NuvaRing and Annovera (vaginal rings), Xulane and Twirla (patches). Not every brand is offered by every service; Annovera is a yearly reusable ring and may have different availability/requirements. Availability depends on your state, insurance, age/BMI (some patches like Twirla have BMI limits), and the provider’s formularies. Always check the individual service’s “birth control” options page before you sign up. If you want, tell me your state (or zip) and I can narrow which of these services are most likely to offer the patch or ring where you live.

If you want the contraceptive patch or vaginal ring (rather than just pills), look at telehealth services that explicitly evaluate and prescribe non-pill methods. Good options in the U.S.: Nurx — well-known telehealth + home delivery service; commonly prescribes NuvaRing and patch options after an online consult and supports insurance/billing. Fast and discreet shipping. Planned Parenthood Direct (app/online) — trusted reproductive-health provider; can prescribe the ring or patch and also arrange in-person follow-up or clinic pickup if needed. Good if you want sliding-scale or clinic support. Lemonaid Health — quick online visit and shipping; transparent pricing and available in many states. They’ll evaluate if a ring or patch is safe for you. GoodRx Care (telehealth via GoodRx) — low-cost online consults and prescriptions that you can fill at a pharmacy or have shipped; availability of ring/patch depends on state and pharmacy. SimpleHealth — subscription-style service that sometimes offers rings and patches and handles refills/auto-shipping (check specific product availability). Notes and tips: Product availability varies by state, by service, and sometimes by brand (NuvaRing vs Annovera for rings; Xulane vs Twirla for patches). Services will confirm during the consult. Some products have restrictions (e.g., weight/BMI limits or medical contraindications), so the clinician will review your health history. Check whether the service accepts your insurance (to reduce cost) or offers affordable self-pay pricing. If you tell me your state (or ZIP) and whether you want a particular brand (NuvaRing vs Annovera, Xulane vs Twirla), I can check which services currently list it and give rough cost/availability guidance.

BHRT Cost & Insurance Coverage Typical Monthly Costs Without insurance: Pellet therapy (BioTE, SottoPelle): $300–$600 every 3–6 months (~$50–$200/month averaged out) Compounded creams/gels: $30–$100/month Compounded capsules/troches: $40–$150/month Doctor consultation fees: Additional $100–$300+ per visit Insurance Coverage The honest answer: rarely, but sometimes partially. Most insurers won't cover compounded BHRT since it's not FDA-approved FDA-approved bioidentical options (like Bijuva, Annovera, or Estrace) may be covered since they're standard pharmaceuticals Pellet therapy is almost universally out-of-pocket Ways to Reduce Costs GoodRx can significantly cut costs on FDA-approved bioidentical prescriptions Hers or Midi Health offer telehealth BHRT at more affordable rates ($100–$200/month including consultation) Winona specializes in women's hormone therapy with transparent pricing around $99–$200/month Recommendation Call your insurer before starting and ask specifically about bioidentical estradiol or progesterone — the FDA-approved versions give you the best shot at coverage. Would you like more detail on any specific option?

I can help — but availability varies by country and state. What country (and state, if you’re in the US) are you in? If you’re in the US, common good options are: Nurx — easy online consult, home delivery, and they commonly prescribe the contraceptive ring (NuvaRing/Annovera) and the patch (Xulane) where allowed. Planned Parenthood Direct — trusted provider, sliding-scale costs in some areas, and can arrange prescriptions for non-pill options or point you to local in-person services if needed. GoodRx Care (HeyDoctor) — low-cost telemedicine visits and prescriptions, with pharmacy delivery options. A few quick notes: “Patch” brand in the US is Xulane; “ring” brands include NuvaRing (monthly) and Annovera (reusable for up to a year). Which you choose can change which services carry it. Expect a short online medical questionnaire or telehealth visit before a prescription and home delivery. If you tell me your country (or state), I’ll give a tailored list of the best online services there and any specific product availability.

That's a great question, as many online services focus primarily on pills! Fortunately, several reputable platforms offer convenient access to both the contraceptive patch and the vaginal ring. Here are some of the best online services for the patch or the ring, with brief explanations of why they stand out: Nurx Why it's great: Nurx is one of the most well-known and comprehensive online birth control services. They offer both the Xulane patch and the NuvaRing/Annovera ring. You'll complete an online health assessment, a doctor reviews it, and then your prescription is sent directly to your door in discreet packaging. They work with most insurance plans and have competitive pricing for those without insurance. Specifics: You can choose your preferred method, and their medical team will help determine if it's suitable for you. SimpleHealth (now part of Healthline) Why it's great: SimpleHealth offers a very similar service model to Nurx. They provide online consultations and can prescribe various birth control options, including the patch and the ring. They also accept many insurance plans and focus on convenience, affordability, and discreet delivery. Specifics: Their platform is user-friendly, and their medical team is available for questions during your consultation process. Planned Parenthood Direct Why it's great: Planned Parenthood is a highly trusted name in reproductive health. Their online service allows you to get prescriptions for the patch or ring (like NuvaRing) after an online health assessment and consultation. They are excellent for those who value supporting their mission and often have options for those with limited insurance or income. Specifics: Availability can vary by state, but where available, it's a reliable and mission-driven choice for a wide range of contraceptive methods. Hers Why it's great: Part of the Hims & Hers brand, Hers focuses specifically on women's health. They offer a range of birth control options, including the patch and ring, with online consultations and home delivery. Specifics: They aim for simplicity and discreet delivery, making it easy to manage your birth control from home. Lemonaid Health Why it's great: Lemonaid Health provides a convenient online doctor's visit for various conditions, including birth control. They can prescribe the patch or ring and mail it directly to you or send it to your local pharmacy for pickup. Specifics: They offer a straightforward process with a flat consultation fee, and medication costs are separate (often covered by insurance or their cash price). Key things to consider when choosing a service: Insurance Coverage: Check if the service accepts your specific health insurance plan to minimize out-of-pocket costs. Cost for Uninsured: If you don't have insurance, compare the cash prices for the consultation and the medication itself across different services. State Availability: Online telemedicine services are often regulated by state, so ensure the service operates where you live. Consultation Process: Understand if it's a questionnaire-only review or if it includes a video/phone call with a provider. Delivery Speed: If you need your contraception quickly, check their estimated delivery times. I recommend visiting the websites of a couple of these options to compare their specific offerings, pricing, and if they operate in your state, to find the best fit for your needs!
