The Planned Parenthood Direct app offers birth control, UTI treatment (urinary tract infection), ella (emergency contraception), and abortion pill access (where legally permissible). Simply choose your service, complete a health questionnaire, and submit your request for care. You are only charged if you are eligible for the service. Medicaid is accepted in some states. If you have any questions, you can reach our support team through in-app messaging.
A Planned Parenthood provider will review your request and questionnaire responses. If they have any questions, they will message you in the app.
If eligible, your medication will be shipped to you discreetly or sent to your local pharmacy. If you have any questions about the medication, you can reach out to the provider through in-app messaging.

Why do I need to know my blood pressure to get birth control through the app?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.
I’ve been using PPDirect for years to order prescriptions, especially when I didn’t have health insurance. They make care easy and accessible for me through their telehealth services and consultations. I’m so happy to have PP and their Direct app!
I am so incredibly grateful for Planned Parenthood Direct! My old doctor had not approved my new birth control prescription and I had one day to get back on it before my period went out of whack… Thankfully PPDirect got me a video chat appointment with one of their providers for the very next day, and she was able to fill my prescription for a year supply at my local pharmacy within minutes!
After my insurance lapsed because of a loss of job, and because I was unable to see my regular doctor so they could not write me a prescription. I reached out on the app to get a birth control prescription. The service was very easy, all of the messages that I exchanged with the doctor were pleasant and quick, and I am so thankful that I am able to get my medication without having to find insurance or to go see a doctor in person.
I used this app request birth control after having issues with another app (NURX). They are SO fast, they literally had a prescription sent to my pharmacy within a few hours. They are also super thorough and let me know that a certain kind of birth control may not be safe for me due to certain health issues I have and recommended a different one that's just as effective. I 100% recommend them!
I am a travel nurse and it’s always a nightmare trying to establish care in new cities or have my birth control filled when I don’t have long stints of continuity of care. I am so so happy and grateful that I was able to get my prescription refilled the SAME DAY. It was so easy and fast and took a HUGE amount of stress out of my life
My prescription for my birth control had expired, and I was able to request a new prescription through the app without ever having to go through the hassle of a full doctor’s visit. They even live chatted with me and helped me pick a new option that better fit my health and shipped it right to my pharmacy.
Definitely the best service i have received to get birth control. I’ve used this app twice and it has been very worth it every time. They’re very accommodating to your needs.
Fast response time, friendly service, shipped within 2 business days, highly recommended! Amazing service. Easy to order prescriptions. Fast accurate delivery. Best way to stay safe.The doctors are nice, the app runs smoothly, and I can quickly and easily get my prescription refilled without having to schedule an in person doctors visit weeks out. All while still getting quality service from an actual doctor that can answer any questions you have. Highly recommend.
super easy to message and start on birth control, even though i didnt have a blood pressure to share with them i was able to still recieve 3 months of birth control and it would be coming 2-3 days super easy and they reply fast :)
