How to get a prescription

Follow these 4 easy steps:

01Request your prescription

Answer questions about your health and medical history online and pay $30 for your medical consultation (which includes unlimited messaging with the Nurx medical team for a year).

02Nurx providers review your health profile

After carefully evaluating your needs, one of Nurx’s licensed providers will write a prescription (if medically appropriate).

03Nurx delivers your medication

Nurx sends your Slynd prescription straight to your doorstep. Prescriptions come in discreet, unmarked packaging to protect your privacy. Shipping is always free.

04Your prescription is refilled automatically

Nurx automatically processes and ships your refills every three months if desired. You can cancel anytime.

How much does it cost to connect with Nurx providers online?

Anyone who requests a birth control prescription through Nurx is charged a $30 medical consultation fee. This includes unlimited messaging with the Nurx medical team about your birth control for one year, so you can request prescription changes or ask questions anytime. At this time, Nurx does not submit claims to insurance for the medical consultation fee. Patients must complete an annual consultation, including any related fees, when their prescription is up for renewal. Other fees may apply, see here for details.

Does Nurx accept insurance for birth control?

Yes, Nurx accepts most forms of private health insurance for medications. If you’d like to know if Nurx accepts your health insurance plan, please connect with the Nurx team at support@nurx.co.

Please note Nurx does NOT accept any government health insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare or any of their affiliated managed care plans and does not submit claims to insurance for the medical consultation fee.

How long will it take after my virtual consultation to receive my prescription?

After your provider reviews your request and confirms if Slynd is right for you, one of Nurx’s pharmacies typically ships your prescription within 72 hours. Nurx uses USPS 1-3 day priority shipping to provide free delivery, so prescription deliveries will typically arrive in as little as 3-5 business days from receiving your completed request for birth control.

Can I pick up my prescription at my local pharmacy?

Yes, you have the option to send your prescription to a local pharmacy of your choosing.

How do refills through Nurx work?

For most prescriptions, Nurx offers automatic refills for one year from the time you begin using the service, if desired. After a year, you must complete a renewal medical consultation for which you will be charged at that time.

Slynd and birth control discussion starters

Here are some ideas to help you have a productive conversation about birth control with your healthcare provider.

Download Doctor Discussion Guide
01

Start by asking your doctor how you can determine what birth control method is right for you.

02

Find out the difference between pills 
that contain estrogen versus those 
that do not.

03

If you cannot take estrogen because your doctor has told you not to take estrogen products, discuss estrogen-free Slynd as an option.

04

If you are conscious of the hormones you put in your body and want to avoid the added worry of estrogen, have been told by your doctor to avoid estrogen because of a health problem, or are currently breastfeeding, ask your doctor about estrogen-free Slynd.
