The main online services that can prescribe birth control to teens or under 18 are Twentyeight Health and Planned Parenthood’s online care/direct services, with Nurx also serving minors in many states where local consent laws allow it.[1][2][4][10] Twentyeight Health: explicitly says it serves patients starting at age 13 in many states, though some states require parental consent; its minor-access page lists state-by-state age rules and consent conditions.[1][10] Planned Parenthood: offers online birth control care through its PPDirect service and is a major option for confidential teen reproductive care, but whether a minor can be prescribed birth control depends on state law and local availability.[2][6] Nurx: is commonly cited as teen-friendly and may prescribe to minors depending on state minor-consent laws; availability varies by state.[3][9] A few important caveats: Age alone is not the whole rule; whether a teen under 18 can get a prescription online depends on state minor-consent laws and sometimes parental consent requirements.[1][4][13] In the U.S., many states allow minors to consent to contraceptive care on their own, but the exact rules vary by state.[1][4][13] Many other nationwide birth-control telehealth companies are generally 18+ or require guardian approval, so they are less likely to work for teens.[3][16] If you want, I can also give you a state-by-state shortlist of the best teen-friendly options in your state.
