Levonorgestrel (“Plan B”) emergency contraceptive $0 ymmv

By | May 3, 2022 6:16 pm EST

I saw another deal posted of an online company offering the "Plan B" emergency contraceptive pill (levonorgestrel) but wanted to offer this as an alternative to anyone that didn’t feel comfortable getting medications through the mail and/or would like to use their health insurance benefits to get this for free at their local pharmacy (YMMV, of course, but thanks to the Affordable Care Act, your plan likely covers it at a $0 copay).
Many of your friendly neighborhood pharmacists can initiate a prescription for you! If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont, or Washington – pharmacists are allowed to initiate emergency contraception drug therapy.

If you don’t live in one of these states, and you have health insurance or Medicaid, there’s still a good chance you can get "Plan B" for free – you just have to ask your nurse or doctor for a prescription so your pharmacist has something to bill to your prescription benefits.
