Compare convenience, safety, and level of care to see what’s best for you

When it comes to birth control, you have options. You can make an appointment with your doctor’s office or use an online service to receive contraception straight to your door. Both in person and online birth control have their pros and cons. The best method for you will depend on your medical history, lifestyle, and preferred level of contact with a clinician.

Online care shouldn’t sacrifice clinically verified contraceptive counseling. At Omnia Telehealth we believe you should have both.

How does online birth control work?

Online birth control starts with an at-home digital intake form. You are asked questions about your medical history, medications, and lifestyle to identify anything that may impact your contraception options (i.e., smoking or migraines).

Next, a clinician reviews your form and determines which birth control methods are safe for you to use. If you qualify, your prescription is sent to your pharmacy or delivered to you.

Omnia Telehealth’s platform works similarly, with the additional step of clinician review.

Why might I want online birth control?

The primary reason our patients utilize online birth control is convenience. There’s no waiting room or drive time. You can take care of your prescription whenever it fits your schedule.

This easy at-home process also makes follow-ups simple. Our prescription services allow you to request birth control refills or make adjustments without taking time out of your day.

Online birth control makes it easier for people to be consistent with their contraception, which can greatly improve their effectiveness.

When should I still see my doctor for birth control?

You may still choose to see your doctor for birth control in person if you have:

• Concerns that can be addressed during a physical exam (i.e. you’ve experienced side effects, or want to discuss your options)
• A medical history that requires a clinician to assess your health in person. This can include high blood pressure, certain cancers, or migraine with aura.

Omnia Telehealth operates with your safety in mind. If we identify a concern during your online intake, we will refer you to in-person care.

Are online birth control pills safe?

Online birth control is as safe as seeing your doctor in person. Online pharmacies receive your prescription from a clinician, just like your local pharmacy.

The difference is how your medicine is prescribed. Online birth control starts with you, while in-person care starts with your doctor. Let’s take a closer look at how they differ:

Online birth control takes your word that you have no underlying conditions. Doctors have the ability to confirm details with tests and physical evaluations.

Both online and in-person visits are held to the same standards, but online birth control requires you to be proactive about your health.

Is online birth control private?

One of the benefits of taking birth control online is privacy. There’s no reason to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable requesting birth control pills from home.

At Omnia Telehealth, we understand that privacy is a large part of your decision. That’s why we don’t sell your information or notify anyone of your visit.

While online services are discreet, some people may prefer the personal connection they get from visiting their doctor’s office.

Will online birth control cost me more?

Online birth control has some cost advantages. Since we operate online, you know exactly what you’ll pay before you decide to receive contraception. Our services are structured with flat fees for both the consultation and your prescription.

Your doctor’s office may have co-pays, varying fees for visits and prescriptions, and other charges for follow-up appointments or tests. Keep in mind that your insurance may cover your in-person visit.

Technology has made it easier than ever to receive contraception at home, but that doesn’t always mean it’s cheap.

Online birth control vs. visiting my doctor, which should I choose?

There is no right answer when it comes to online versus in-person birth control. Think about your needs and lifestyle to decide which option is best for you.

If you’re generally healthy, know which birth control method suits you, and simply need to refill your prescription, online birth control is quick and easy.

If you’re starting birth control for the first time, dealing with other health conditions, or are unhappy with your current method, visiting your doctor can help you find the right solution.
