What each company’s page says
Nurx
- What’s prescribed
- The birth control page’s hero names the pill, the patch, the ring, or the shot, and says Nurx offers 50+ formulas. The options section on that page describes the pill, the ring, the patch, and emergency contraception (“the morning after”). The FAQ on the same page says more than 100 types, including name-brand and generic pills plus the patch and the vaginal ring. The shot is named in the hero. That page does not print a shot price. The page says care is in English only.1
- How the visit works
- You complete an online medical consultation about health history and birth control preferences. A provider licensed in your state prescribes if clinically appropriate. Nurx then sends a 3-month supply and says you can pause or cancel anytime. The page says Nurx does not replace a primary care provider. Anyone who requests a birth control prescription is charged a $28 consultation fee. That fee includes unlimited messaging with the medical team about birth control for one year. A new consultation, including its fee, is required when a prescription is up for annual renewal. Nurx says it does not submit that consult fee to insurance.12
- Insurance
- Nurx says it accepts most private health insurance for medications, and names Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, OptumRx, and United Health Care. It says providers do not participate in or bill any government insurance, including Medicaid, so those programs will not pay for the services or medications. The consult fee must be paid in cash. Not every plan is accepted. An HSA or FSA page says you may be able to use those funds for Nurx services, and that covered costs typically include ongoing care fees, medication cost, copays, and deductibles.37
- Price if printed
- With insurance, Nurx says the prescription is free in most cases, and that a copay is usually $0. If there is a copay, Nurx authorizes $30 at checkout and charges it only if you have a copay. If the copay is over $30, Nurx says you get a notification. Without insurance, the cost FAQ says brands start at $15 per month. The options section says as little as $15 per pill pack, $150 per ring, $50 per month for the patch, and $45 per emergency-contraception pill, each also “as low as $0 with insurance.” The page says the price is not guaranteed, medication is shipped and billed quarterly, and extra costs include a consultation and a periodic support fee. The support-fee page says that fee is a flat $3 in any month when one or more orders are processed, once that month even if several orders are processed.126
- States
- The birth control page says services are not offered in every state. The Nurx pages checked on November 1, 2026 do not print a list of states. The age FAQ says state rules may require a patient to be older than the minimum Nurx names.15
- Delivery
- Nurx says its pharmacy fills the prescription and sends a three-month supply to your door. Shipping is free. Contraceptives go by USPS Ground Advantage, which Nurx says typically delivers in 2–5 business days. No signature is required. The packaging is described as discreet, with no mention of Nurx or a pharmacy on the outside of the envelope. The support-fee page also describes orders filled at a local pharmacy. The birth control page itself describes home delivery.146
- Privacy
- Nurx’s privacy-policy address opens a Thirty Madison policy that says it was last updated December 3, 2025. That policy says Thirty Madison, which does business as Nurx, does not trade, rent, or sell personal information to third parties for their own purposes. It also says that when Thirty Madison handles protected health information for its medical groups and pharmacies, it follows the medical group notice of privacy practices, not this website policy. Nurx’s insurance FAQ says Nurx will not tell a parent that you are on medication, and that an insurance company may still send claim information to the policyholder. It says paying out of pocket is the most reliable way Nurx describes to keep those payments off a parent’s plan.89
Wisp
- What’s prescribed
- The birth control shop lists pills, a vaginal ring, and a patch, and a control that says “Let a provider decide.” The FAQ says emergency birth control is available: Plan B delivered, or Ella for same-day pharmacy pickup. The same FAQ says Wisp treats patients 18 to 54 for this care, and does not offer hormonal birth control, hormonal cycle control, or emergency contraception to patients over 55. The shop page does not describe a birth control shot, IUD, or implant.10
- How the visit works
- You fill out a medical form or a quiz. A licensed U.S. provider reviews it. If needed, a provider follows up the same day by phone or secure chat. If a prescription is appropriate, Wisp sends it to a pharmacy the same day or ships it. The pricing page says Wisp sets up a visit with an independent physician, who decides whether a prescription product is appropriate and may send the prescription to a pharmacy you choose. Orders are processed within 24 hours, including weekends. The how-it-works page says the one-time consult fee covers the virtual visit and unlimited Care Team messaging, and that if you cannot be prescribed any treatment you are charged up to $25 instead of the full consult price. The FAQ says a $25 fee applies only when every prescription in the order is declined. The birth control FAQ says there is no extra cost for a consultation. A photo ID is required so a provider can confirm you are over 18.10111214
- Insurance
- The FAQ says you do not need insurance to use Wisp, and that Wisp does not accept insurance for online consults or prescriptions. The medication cost is included in Wisp’s price when Wisp ships it. If you pick up at a local pharmacy, the FAQ says you can bill insurance for that pharmacy’s copay. Wisp says it is not contracted with Medicaid or Medicare. The pricing page says most products can be purchased with FSA or HSA funds. The FAQ says checkout can take a credit card, HSA, or FSA card.1214
- Price if printed
- The birth control FAQ says options start at $5 per month for a 90-day supply, and that there is no extra cost for a consultation. On the same shop page, product cards showed “Starting at $15” on pill cards including Junel FE, Yaz, Sprintec, and Errin, “Starting at $25” on Slynd, “Starting at $22” on the generic vaginal ring, and “Starting at $12” on the patch. The page does not say that each “Starting at” figure is the full price of every supply length. It says you can choose a 1-, 3-, or 6-month supply. A site banner offered 15% off a first order with the code WELCOME15. A code can disappear.10
- States
- The how-it-works page says care is available in all 50 states, and that products ship free to all 50 states, including Hawaii. The FAQ says Wisp can prescribe in all 50 states and offers free shipping to all U.S. states. The shipping page headline says “We Ship & Prescribe to all 50 States!” The list under that headline starts with “(Washington) DC” and names Delaware through Wyoming. It does not name Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, or Connecticut. This guide does not guess which line controls. The FAQ says state law requires a video visit in Arkansas, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Kansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia.111314
- Delivery
- Wisp says shipping is always free, home delivery uses USPS and arrives in 3–5 days, and the shipping page says USPS, UPS, and FedEx are used for delivery within 3–5 business days. Expedited shipping is not offered. Home-delivery packaging is an unlabeled box and discreet bottles. You can cancel a subscription by emailing support@hellowisp.com. The FAQ says a cancellation needs to be in no later than 48 hours before the next renewal. Pharmacy pickup is a separate path: a provider reviews within 24 hours and, if appropriate, sends the prescription to a local pharmacy.111314
- Privacy
- Wisp’s privacy policy says Wisp does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18, and does not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 18 for cross-context behavioral advertising. It also says information may be used for marketing and advertising, and the policy describes a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” control. The policy does not say Wisp never sells or shares an adult’s personal information. The FAQ says a photo ID is stored in the patient dashboard, and that symptom photos are stored and viewed by the medical team. Home delivery uses an unlabeled box.1415
