Some of you may be wondering about mail-order prescription plans. This may be a convenient
way to get your birth control instead of going to the pharmacy every month to get your pills,
to get your NuvaRing, or to get your patch.
Now, you may not have this option available through your insurance, but it's important
for you to research this option. Not only is it convenient to have your birth control
mailed to your house, but it may actually be cheaper than picking it up at the pharmacy
every month.
In addition, if you don't get a chance to go to the pharmacy every month, you may be
at risk for getting pregnant because you won't pick up your birth control on time. I find
the mail order system is an excellent way to help patients maintain compliance with
birth control.
If this option is available to you and you are able to receive mail order packages without
any problems, please call your insurance and find out if the mail in prescription program
is an option for you.
