Several online birth control services do prescribe for teens or people under 18, but eligibility depends on state law and, for some services, the teen’s age or parental consent. Based on the results you provided, these services explicitly support under-18 access in at least some states:[1][2][5][7][8] Twentyeight Health — says it serves people starting at age 13 in many states, with different minimum ages by state, and notes that in many states minors can access birth control without parental consent.[8] Nurx — offers online birth control in many states and says a licensed provider will prescribe if clinically appropriate; the listed age range in the resource directory is “14+ depending on state law.”[2][3] Planned Parenthood Direct — offers birth control through its app in 46 states and Washington, D.C., but the result you provided does not specify a minimum age, so under-18 eligibility likely depends on local rules and clinic policies.[5] Walgreens Virtual Care — explicitly says its virtual providers prescribe birth control to women ages 18–55, so it is not an under-18 option based on the cited page.[7] A few state-specific or clinic-based options also clearly support teen access: Illinois: ICAN! says anyone 12+ can access birth control on their own in Illinois, including via telehealth providers.[4] New York City: NYC Sexual Health Clinics state that people under 18 can access confidential sexual and reproductive health care, including birth control prescriptions without parent or guardian permission.[6] If you want, I can turn this into a state-by-state list of online services that accept teens, or narrow it to the cheapest options, no-parent-consent options, or services available in your state.
