When I first wrote this post in 2019, it was about The Pill Club, which was a medication fulfillment program that offered free delivery of birthday control. Well, since then, The Pill Club was purchased by Nurx, so I wanted to refresh the data here.
Nurx is a medication fulfillment program that offers free delivery of birth control after a $28 virtual consultation. They ship to all 50 states, are a HIPAA-compliant service, and they offer 50+ birth control formulas and options, including the pill, patch, ring, and more.
Their FAQ provides a full explanation, but long story short anybody with health insurance can receive their birth control delivered straight to their house each month – all for free!
For those without insurance, Nurx can still cover your needs with a variety of birth control brands that start at $15 per month.
However, for those with insurance, you can get birth control for free!
If you already have an existing birth control prescription, then simply create an account and fill out your profile. They have tons of brand names pills to choose from, but if you don't see your pill of choice, you can send in a picture of whatever you need and they'll help fulfill it.
From reviews I've read, the packaging is very discreet as well. These free pills will come in a white box or envelope that reads “The Operations Team” as the return address, so there's no indications it's birth control.
Alternate Free Birth Control Programs
In addition to Nurx, there are a few other services that offer the same free birth control.
Hers is a slightly more pricey offering that also includes prescription skincare, sex health, and hair care products.
Finally, Twenty Eight Health is another free birth control program that used to be Simple Health. However, after their recent pivot to birth control, they've expanded to 71 different brands of pills!
