With the Planned Parenthood Direct app, it's now quick and convenient to use your mobile device to access quality healthcare. The app is currently live in ; to receive care through the app, you must be physically present in these states.
Payment on the app is easy. We accept most credit, debit, and prepaid cards.
Please note: If this is a medical emergency, dial 911 immediately; do not use this app.

To view the status of your order, go to your Order History. You can find your Order History by clicking on the menu icon at top right.
Sometimes, based on your answers to our health questions, the clinician may decide it is better for you to be seen in person at your local health center. If this happens, you won't be charged for your online visit.
Through the app we offer different services that vary by state. Here's how our pricing works. For exact amount & service details, select your state above in the map section.
By Mail (birth control pills only)
Visit fee: $0 (this is like a co-pay and it varies by state)

ella® Emergency Contraception: starts at $80 per pill

Visit fee: $15-$25 (this is like a co-pay and it varies by state)

Your request for care will be reviewed by the clinician within 1 business day. If you choose to use your insurance, this may add 1 to 2 days to the review process because we need to first verify your insurance is active before the clinician completes the review. After the clinician completes the review, you will receive a treatment plan in the app. If your plan includes a prescription, this is sent to the pharmacy at the same time as well. If you message your clinician on the app, they'll get back to you as soon as they can, usually within one day.
It's free! We do not charge you for shipping.
Your shipment will arrive in a discreet, soft white envelope. No one will know who it's from.
To access messages in the app, log in with your Planned Parenthood Direct credentials. Go to Order History > Tap on Clinician Inbox or Support Inbox to connect with your clinician or the support team.
In some states, we are required to see who we are treating. Your clinician will evaluate the information you provide and video chat with you in the app at the time and date you selected when submitting your visit. You can even reschedule through the app if something comes up.
Your local health center may have low- and no-cost options, depending on your income and situation. Find a health center now.
When you use your card to pay for services or medicine from us, the charge will appear on your statement as PPDirect.

We are continuously working to add new contraception options through the app.
Currently on the app we offer birth control pills, patch, and ring. You can order a minimum 3 month supply and sign-up for automatic refills for up to a year. You'll also find information on the app about other birth control methods available at your local health center, including the IUD, the shot, and the implant.
On the Planned Parenthood Direct app, birth control costs vary by state, starting at $20/pack. Select your state above, in the map section, for more information specific to your state.
Medicaid plans are accepted in Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington state. For all other states, we are unable to accept insurance plans at this time. Stay tuned as we are working to make this an option in more states!
We need to know your blood pressure to determine which birth control options may be right for you. We will ask you if you have had your blood pressure taken in the past three months, and whether it was normal or high.
If you haven't had your blood pressure taken in the last three months or you're not sure of your blood pressure reading, we may still be able to prescribe birth control, but it may affect the type of birth control and how many packs we can prescribe.
Many pharmacies and grocery stores have blood pressure machines where you can have your blood pressure checked.
You don't need a pelvic exam, breast exam, or Pap test to get birth control through the app.
If your birth control shipment is a 3 or 6 month supply, you can get auto-refills on your prescription for up to a year.
If your birth control prescription was sent to a pharmacy, please contact the pharmacy directly for refills.
The Planned Parent Direct app makes it convenient to get birth control pills prescribed and delivered. Other birth control methods, including the ring and the patch can be picked up at your local pharmacy.
The IUD, shot, and the implant may be available at your local health center.
To discuss other options, please find a health center and make an appointment to discuss in person. Note that many women get pregnant when switching between birth control methods or brands of pills, so be sure to use a backup method when you are switching methods.
Currently, we offer 10 different birth control products by mail, 9 combination pills (estrogen and progestin) and 1 progestin-only pill. Pills offered may vary by state.

Emergency contraception is birth control you can use to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. It's safe and effective. There are two types of emergency contraception: morning-after pills and the copper IUD.
Yes, it's a good idea to buy the Morning-After Pill (Emergency Contraception) BEFORE you need it. You can keep it in your medicine cabinet and it will be there for you, just in case. That way, you can take it as soon as possible if an accident happens—and you won't have to worry about getting a prescription when you're totally stressed out.
We offer a version of the morning-after pill called ella®. ella is 85% effective on any day you take it, for up to five days after unprotected sex. For people who weigh 195 lbs. or more, it may not work as well, and a copper IUD is more effective. You need a prescription from a doctor or nurse to get ella.
On the Planned Parenthood Direct app, ella® starts at $80, which includes overnight shipping.
ella® can be taken up to 5 days after unprotected sex. Before you continue, check the information below to make sure you’ll receive ella® in time (sent with overnight shipping):
If you need emergency contraception right away, contact your local Planned Parenthood health center, or you can find Plan B or other over-the-counter options at your local pharmacy.
No, a signature is not required to receive your package.
When submitting a request for Emergency Contraception, always double check your shipping address to make sure it is correct. If a package does not arrive because the address was incorrect, we are not able to offer refunds. You will receive a tracking code in the app to know the estimated delivery date and time. If the status says delivered and your shipping address is correct, please contact the PPDirect help desk.
The UTI service is currently available in .
If you don't see your state listed above, we apologize for the inconvenience. We are working hard to offer the UTI service more states as soon as we can.
Usually, no urine test is required to make a UTI diagnosis. We rely on strict, evidence-based guidelines to evaluate your answers to our health questions.
That's why it's important that you answer them honestly. If we think something other than a simple UTI is the cause of your symptoms, we're not able to prescribe treatment on the app. In this case, we'll recommend you speak with a clinician at a health center and we'll refund your app visit fee.
What you'll pay at the pharmacy depends on whether you have insurance and your specific health plan. Your prescription cost will depend on what medicine is prescribed and the pharmacy you choose, it could range from as little as $4 to as much as $60.
In most cases, we can correctly diagnose a UTI based on your answers to our health questions. If we feel more testing is needed, we'll recommend you be seen at a health center.
If we diagnose you with a UTI and you don't actually have one, we'll be giving you an antibiotic you don't need. This may cause possible side effects. However, in most cases, they're only temporary. Taking antibiotics that are not needed can also increase the chance of making bacteria resistant to that antibiotic. If something other than a UTI is the cause of your symptoms, treating you for a UTI will not treat that problem. If your symptoms persist, it is important to get medical attention.
We treat UTIs with antibiotic pills. You'll need to take the pills from 1–7 days, depending on which medicine we give you. It's important that you take all of the antibiotic pills we prescribe. If you don't take them all, your UTI might not be fully cured and it may make that antibiotic less effective for you in the future.
If you miss a dose, you should take the medicine you missed as soon as possible. However, if it's almost time to take your next dose, don't double up. In this case, just take one to get back on schedule.
See a doctor or nurse in person if you:
If you have just submitted your request, we may be able to cancel. Please message us right away through the app. If the clinician has already reviewed your request for care, we cannot issue a refund.
When a request for care is submitted on the Planned Parenthood Direct app, a hold is placed on your credit card to secure the funds. We will only charge your credit card if the clinician approves you for a prescription. If you do not qualify for a prescription the hold will be released and you will not be charged.
Due to regulations, we do not accept returned medications. Once an order is shipped it cannot be returned or refunded.
For birth control, once a prescription is approved, you should receive your package in 2 to 3 business days. For emergency contraception, check the Emergency Contraception section of FAQs to learn more about when to expect your package.
For both birth control and emergency contraception, you can check the USPS tracking code by going to Order History > Details & Refills to find out the status of your package.
If the status is "Delivered," be sure to look for the package in or near your mailbox. Check locations where packages are often left by the US Postal Service. The package is a plain, soft white envelope and does not say "Planned Parenthood" on the outside.
If you have still not received the package, you must send a message to our support team within 10 days of the shipping date. You will have to pay for a reshipment if the address you provided was not correct or it has been more than 10 days since the package was delivered. For emergency contraception, we do not offer refunds if the address you provided was incorrect.
If your package was damaged or something isn't right, please send a message to our support team within 10 days of the delivery date by going to Order History > Support Inbox. We'll get back to you within 1 business day.
If you have a question about a recent visit, go to that visit in Order History (access from the main menu icon at top right) and use the Message Clinician or Message Support options.

Planned Parenthood health centers carry many different birth control options. It's best to call ahead and check with your local health center what they have available.
You can book an appointment at your local health center online, usually available within 1-2 days. Walk-in appointments may also be available at some locations.
If you visited us online (through the Get Care or Direct-CA mobile apps between June 2014 to December 2017) and at a local health center in the same city and state, the clinician and support team members have access to both your records.
If yes, thank you! We've been testing the service to learn how to make it better. To continue to get care from us, please create a new account on our new Planned Parenthood Direct app. If you have questions about your refills for birth control pills, please click here and send us a message.
