Do I Need a Prescription for Emergency Contraception?

  • It depends on the type:

    • Ulipristal acetate (ella):
      ✔ Requires a prescription
      ✔ Most effective within 5 days (120 hours) of unprotected sex
      ✔ Helps delay or prevent ovulation

    • Levonorgestrel (Plan B, My Way, etc.):
      ✔ No prescription needed
      ✔ Available over the counter
      ✔ Works best within 3 days (72 hours)

What’s the price of the morning-after pill?

The cost of the morning-after pill depends on the type. Ulipristal acetate (ella) is often covered by insurance, with an out-of-pocket cost of around $40–$50. Levonorgestrel options (like Plan B or My Way) are available over the counter at most pharmacies or online for $50 or less.

Prices may vary and aren’t guaranteed.

Ella

ella is a prescription emergency contraceptive pill that can help prevent pregnancy when taken within 5 days of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It works by delaying ovulation and is most effective the sooner it’s taken.

Pro Tip

Start with lifestyle adjustments—like avoiding trigger foods, elevating your head while sleeping, and eating smaller meals. Medications work best when paired with healthy habits.

With iVisitDoc, you can meet virtually with a licensed provider to request emergency contraception, such as ulipristal acetate (ella). If appropriate, a prescription can be sent to your preferred pharmacy, typically within the same day.

Yes. Many insurance plans cover iVisitDoc telehealth services. You can also opt for a pay-per-visit option with transparent pricing if you’re uninsured or choose not to use insurance.

If your case requires in-person care or additional evaluation, your provider will explain the reason and guide you to the most appropriate next steps, such as visiting a nearby clinic or pharmacy.

Yes. You’ll have access to secure post-visit messaging for any follow-up questions about your care plan or prescription.

Emergency contraception is typically intended for one-time use, but if you’ve had multiple recent episodes of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, you can request another evaluation. Your provider will determine if another prescription is appropriate.

All care is delivered through a HIPAA-compliant platform using secure encryption to protect your health information and ensure your privacy throughout the visit and beyond.

About ella and Emergency Contraception

To request ella through iVisitDoc, you must be:

  • 18–55 years old

  • Not currently pregnant

  • Within 5 days (120 hours) of unprotected sex or birth control failure

  • Able to share a brief medical history during your visit

No. ella is not an abortion pill. It works by delaying ovulation and preventing fertilization, but won’t affect an existing pregnancy.

No. Emergency contraception like ella or Plan B does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms are still the most effective form of barrier protection.

No. ella is designed for occasional emergency use only, not as a regular method of contraception. For ongoing birth control, speak with your iVisitDoc provider about safer long-term options.

Possibly. After taking ella, your period may come earlier or later than expected. Some people notice changes in flow or duration, which is normal. If your period is more than a week late, take a pregnancy test and follow up with your provider.

Not usually—but some medications may interact with ella or make it less effective, including certain seizure medications, antibiotics, and herbal supplements like St. John’s wort. Share your medication list with your provider during your visit.
