Planned Parenthood Direct℠

I’ve been a long time supporter of Planned Parenthood. I donate monthly and am vocal about my love for the services that are offered. However, using this app is actually the first time that I have personally used its services and now I feel even more passionate about supporting this amazing organization. I’ve been on birth control that was prescribed by my primary care for about a year. The birth control has worked great for a large amount of my needs, however it is very expensive even after my insurance. Turns out my insurance covers little to no amount for “non necessary birth control”. Because of Planned Parenthood, I am able to pay the same amount for 6 months of birth control as I was paying for just one previously, all without the hassle of going to the pharmacy and dealing with appointments. I was a bit nervous because being in Utah meant that I had to have a video chat with a physician after filling out the in app survey but the physician who helped me choose what was the best option was kind and made me feel very comfortable. If you are lucky enough to be in a state where these services are offered I say try it. And thank you all at Planned Parenthood for making these services available.

Ive been getting my birth control from Planned Parenthood for about 3 years now and each time around November/December I have to go in for an appointment to renew my pills for a years worth I get really bad anxiety because I never know if ill be able to get someone to drive me since I’ve never gotten my license and because i dont have insurance and am now too old for the program they offer im also worried about the price of my prescription. When I found out about the app I was so happy and so relieved. I was able to order my prescription without having to visit the clinic and the clinician that helped me was incredibly nice and approached any questions they had for me in such a warming way. I received my pills in about a week and the price was surprisingly cheap as well. 3 months for $75? What a great deal! I will definitely be continuing my use of the app for as long as its up and running. Their security for user safety/privacy is also a big plus for those in less than desirable situations.

I started having symptoms of a UTI and that night I couldn’t sleep because of the pain and urge to go to the bathroom. I saw a review for this app on Reddit and figured I try it. It was 11pm at night when I realized that I had a UTI my only option at this time was to wait all night to call my doctor in the morning. However I tried this app and I’m SO happy I did. I sent in my request at 11pm and the following morning at 11am I had a response from the doctor saying she called in a prescription for me at my local pharmacy. This saved me money and time. I hope I don’t have to use this app again (because a UTI is not fun) but if I had to I would absolutely use it again. Also, my doctor Paula, was very accommodating. She first prescribed me a capsule but I told her I have trouble swallowing those kind of pills so she called the pharmacy and changed my prescription to a tablet. Overall, this was an AMAZING experience.

I’ve been using this app for a little over two years now and have little to no complaints at all. It makes getting my birth control super easy and quick. They have many different resources available that provide important information about health concerns that one may have as well. And their customer support rapidly responds to messages you may have with questions. Victoria M. recently helped me out with an issue on the amount charged for my birth control and fixed it immediately. The only issues that have been an actual problem are minor bugs in the app, but those are fixed with the updates provided. Would highly recommend if it is available in your area!

It all seemed so easy. Give them some medical history and they send you birth control. No need for anyone to touch you. I had a great experience on the previous app. But unfortunately the clinician that received my application this time was as unhelpful as can be. She first told me that I could only receive a certain type of pill due to my medical history and would be switching me, then on the FaceTime call she did not remember that she was going to switch me to a different pill. She then called me back after hanging up saying she would switch me to the new pill and did not inform me about the new pill. It did not have placebos and will make me miss my period. Two things I never said I wanted. I have completely wasted $60 due to her error. There is no refunds and nothing she can do about her error. She also lied to me saying she told me I wouldn’t have a period on this new pill, had I heard that I would have stopped her. I’m now going to use a more knowledgeable app for my birth control needs.
