How much does the pill cost?

If you have health insurance—whether it’s through your parents, school, job, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace, or Medicaid—chances are good that you’ll be able to get the pill with no out-of-pocket cost.

Even if you don’t have health insurance or are on a plan that doesn’t cover birth control, the pill is one of the cheapest methods out there because there are a lot of generic ones. If you want a specific brand of pill, the monthly cost can be high. If that isn’t an option for you, the manufacturers of your pill may offer a discount. You can also check with the family planning clinics around you and find out if they offer discounts or payment plans for the pill.
