2021 is all about getting my health in check, but where to start?! After taking inventory, I realized what needed to be addressed first: my birth control. I'm pretty forgetful when it comes to taking the pill, scheduling appointments, and getting my prescription refilled — and 2020 was so crazy I was forgetting about all of it more than usual.
A friend recommended I try Nurx, an online platform that allows you to consult with medical professionals, order birth control, and get your prescription delivered right to your door.
When I looked into it some more, I realized what a game-changer Nurx is for women's health and my health especially. Here are 5 reasons why I'm signing up for Nurx:
1. Skip the in-person visit
Getting to the doctor's is a huge hurdle for me - between work and my commute I can never make it fit into my schedule. With Nurx, I can speak to a medical professional right from the comfort of my couch at whatever time that suits me.
To get started you fill out your medical history, and let them know what kind of birth control you want. If you're not sure, Nurx's medical professionals can advise you on the best fit. After providing your insurance information (but you don't need insurance to use Nurx), a provider in your state will review your request and write a prescription that suits your needs.
You'll typically get a response within 24-48 hours — convenient and fast? I couldn't believe it.
Everything is done online, and keeps me out of the doctor's office, staying safe, and saving so much time.
2. Never miss a pill, it's delivered to your door regularly
Nurxsends your prescription to your home when you need it so you can ditch the pharmacy lines. There's no reason to miss a pill now that you can get a 3 month supply delivered and take that task off your to-do list.
3. Accepts insurance, but still affordable even without it
This amazing service accepts insurance; Nurx is covered by most private health insurance including Aetna, Cigna, and United Health Care making the cost of birth control as low as $0. All you have to pay is a small fee of $15 for the consultation.
Without insurance, their birth control prescriptions start as low as $15.
4. Discreet packaging
While your birth control is delivered to your door, there's no need to worry about privacy. Nurx uses discreet packing so your health business remains private but still incredibly convenient.
5. They have 4 types of birth control & over 100 brands of the pill
Options are everything! With Nurx, you consult with a provider to discover the best form of birth control for you and choose between the pill, shot, ring, or patch. Plus, if you're switching to Nurx and have a preferred brand, they offer over 100 name brands and generic pills.
Whatever you need, Nurxis there to help you figure it out. I could not find a better solution to start my 2021 off right when it came to my birth control. It's affordable, accessible, and the right way to kick off better wellness habits.
Try Nurx and see how easy birth control can be — trust me, it's the new must-have health service!
