Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pick up my refills at a health center?

As a result of COVID-19, we advise patients use our birth control by mail (with free shipping) option. We typically process orders within 24-48 hours. You should receive your birth control in the mail within 3-5 business days. Using this service helps us limit in-person interactions at our health centers.

You can also pick your birth control up at a health center. To reduce your wait time, please request your refill one business day in advance. Screening for symptoms and a temperature check are required if you visit a health center.

When will I get my refills in the mail?

We offer free shipping on birth control refills. We typically process orders within 24-48 hours. You should receive your birth control in the mail within 3-5 business days. Due to current delays, you may receive your birth control after this window of time. You can always pick up your birth control refill at your nearest health center to avoid delays. 

If you have an active patient portal account we will send you a portal message with the USPS tracking number so you can track the package.

I'm out of refills. How can I get a new prescription?
