Emergency Contraception
This is for you if:
You’re biologically female and need a prescription of Ella for emergency contraception.
It’s been less than 5 days since having unprotected intercourse or condom failure. The sooner the better.
You’re not taking Ella because you just missed a dose or took a late dose of your birth control pill/patch/ring/shot. (Both Ella and other hormonal contraceptives interfere with each others efficacy.) Plan B may work better in this situation.
You know you weren’t already pregnant before last intercourse.
Please have ready:
Photo of your driver’s license/ID card - front only.
Photos of your health insurance card - front and back.
Your pharmacy information.
Your list of meds and supplements.

Pro Tip: You can get Plan B over-the-counter with or without prescription. It’s most effective if taken within 3 days (72 hours), but less effective in general if your BMI is > 25. Plan B is safe during breastfeeding.
Ella is generally more effective at any BMI and has up to a 5 day window (120 hours) to be taken. If breastfeeding, pump and dump for 1 week after taking Ella. With any emergency contraceptive, the sooner you take it, the better it will work.
Please note that Quick Care services are for uncomplicated, simple, acute conditions and mild to moderate flare-ups of chronic conditions. “Acute” means the illness or condition is expected to be temporary or self-limited with treatment and/or supportive measures.
The cost of medications is determined by your pharmacy.
Quick care does not include the advanced testing and Precision Health services rendered through the Health Edits. Please schedule a separate Health Edit if you would like a comprehensive health evaluation and management of chronic medical conditions and proactive care management. If you have already completed a Health Edit package or a Foundations Audit and would like a follow-up consultation along those lines, please schedule through our a la Carte store.
