What is my cost for the virtual birth control service?
Cost of the service is a $20 consultation fee plus the cost of the birth control prescription after any insurance coverage. Some insurance companies will also cover the $20 consultation fee. If you do not qualify, you will not be charged for the service.
When can I expect to receive the birth control medication after submitting the intake form?
You can expect to be contacted by the clinical pharmacist within a few hours (between 8am and 5pm MST) following submission of the intake form. Generally, the medication will be delivered to your home within 3-5 business days from the Intermountain Home Delivery Pharmacy. Shipping is free. The clinical pharmacist will work with you to identify a different arrangement if a more rapid turnaround is needed.
What will happen when the initial supply of birth control is gone?
The initial prescription will be for up to a 90 day supply of the selected birth control medication and will have enough refills for one year. Once all refills are exhausted, you will need to request a new prescription by completing the same online form or working with your provider.
What if I experience any side effects or have questions or concerns about the prescribed medication?
Please contact a member of the pharmacy team by calling 855-779-3960.
