Do I need a prescription for a morning-after pill?

You’ll need a prescription for ulipristal acetate (ella), a type of emergency birth control that can delay or prevent ovulation when taken within 5 days (120 hours) of having unprotected sex or experiencing a contraceptive failure.
You won’t need a prescription for levonorgestrel (Plan B, My Way, and others), a type of emergency birth control that can prevent ovulation when taken within 3 days (72 hours) of having unprotected sex or experiencing a contraceptive failure.
Both types of medication are FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy, though neither drug is 100% effective.

How much does the morning-after pill cost?

Most major insurance plans cover the cost of ulipristal acetate (ella). The medication’s out-of-pocket cost is about $40 to $50. Levonorgestrel (Plan B, My Way, and others) is available over the counter at many pharmacies and online for $50 or less.*

Frequently asked questions

About Amazon One Medical

How can I get online or in-person emergency birth control treatment from Amazon One Medical?
If you're an Amazon One Medical member, 24/7 On-Demand Care is included in your membership. On-Demand Care has two telehealth pathways: Direct Message Care connects you to a provider through async messaging, and Video Care connects you to a provider in real time.
If you're an Amazon One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can also get medical treatment through In-Person Visits or Scheduled Video Visits, both billable to you or your health insurance.
If you're not an Amazon One Medical member, you can still get 24/7 On-Demand Care for 30+ common health conditions by paying as you go for online treatment. To see the Direct Message Care and Video Care options where you live, get started from a condition detail page and choose your state.
*Direct Message Care availability varies by state. Prices subject to change.
Can I use my health insurance to pay for Amazon One Medical On-Demand Care (formerly Pay-per-visit)?
Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for On-Demand Care, its 24/7 telehealth service. If you were charged for treatment as a non-member, you can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for treatment.
If you use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through all Amazon One Medical services. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your medical care.
What if I want to refill my medication?
If your On-Demand Care provider didn't include refills with your prescription, you'll need to start a new treatment to request another prescription.
There are many reasons why a provider may decide that prescription refills aren't medically appropriate. For example, they may want to assess how well a medication is working and whether or not it needs to be adjusted before you continue with the same treatment.
How does Amazon One Medical protect my health information?
Amazon One Medical protects customers’ protected health information (PHI) with stringent, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant privacy and security practices to keep information safe and secure.
We’re committed to building an infrastructure that fosters and promotes a culture of customer privacy and a strong commitment to safeguarding health information. We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect customer information. This includes conducting rigorous security reviews and testing during product development, using encryption to protect data, and providing features like two-step verification to help customers protect their accounts.
Amazon does not sell customers’ personal information, including PHI.

About ella and emergency birth control

What do I need to request a prescription for ella?
To determine if ella is medically appropriate for you, your Amazon One Medical provider will need to know certain health information like your height and weight, as body mass index (BMI) can affect how well the morning-after pill works.
Your provider may request the name of a local pharmacy of your choice where they can send your ella prescription for immediate fulfillment.
Will ella terminate an existing pregnancy?
No. ella is not an abortion medication. Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy, but it won't terminate an existing pregnancy.
If you've had signs or symptoms of pregnancy since your last menstrual period, you'll need to confirm that you're not pregnant before you can take ella. Healthcare providers won't prescribe ella if you're pregnant because the medication has a small risk of harming a fetus.
If you have questions about mifepristone, the medication that causes medical abortions, you'll need to see a primary care provider for guidance.
Can emergency birth control prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?
No. If you've had unprotected sex and are concerned about STIs, you'll still need to see a primary care provider for an in-person evaluation. We hope you find the care you need.
Can I use ella for routine birth control?
No. Emergency birth control isn't recommended for routine use. For birth control that can be taken regularly to prevent pregnancy, we recommend that you request care for birth control.
Will taking ella affect my menstrual cycle?
Maybe. After taking ella, your period may occur a few days earlier or later than usual.
Will I have to stop taking my other medications in order to take ella?
Certain medications and supplements may affect how well emergency contraception works, including the following:
• Blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin (Coumadin)
• Estrogen-lowering medication like anastrozole (Arimidex) and letrozole (Femara)
• Hormonal birth control
• Rifampin (Rifadin) or daily antibiotics
• Seizure medications like phenytoin, carbamazepine, and lamictal
• Tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro)
Your Amazon One Medical provider will review your health information and let you know if you'll need to pause or stop other therapies before you take ella.
Can I request a prescription for the morning-after pill for my partner?
No. We’re unable to prescribe you medication that will be taken by someone else. Your partner will need to contact their own healthcare provider, or request their own emergency contraception treatment.
Your partner can also consider over-the-counter options for the morning-after pill. Levonorgestrel (Plan B) is available without a prescription and is most effective when taken within 3 days of unprotected sex.
Before taking a new over-the-counter medication, we recommend using a reliable drug interaction checker to check for interactions with other prescription or over-the-counter medications. A pharmacist can also provide guidance on drug interactions.
