How much are birth control pills?
Birth control pills cost about $15–$50 a month. They may be purchased with a prescription at a drugstore or clinic.
Visit a Planned Parenthood health center, a clinic, or a private health care provider for a prescription. Your health care provider will discuss your medical history with you, check your blood pressure, and give you any other medical exam that you may need. If you need an exam, it may cost about $35–$250.
Planned Parenthood works to make health care accessible and affordable. Some health centers are able to charge according to income. Most accept health insurance. If you qualify, Medicaid or other state programs may lower your health care costs.
Call your local Planned Parenthood health center to get specific information on costs.

Hello I am 19 and I’ve never had sex, never been to a gynecologist. I don’t have medical insurance and I can’t get it from my parents. Could you tell me an estimate of how much it would cost for me to get on birth control, I have irregular periods so I’m guessing I’d need an exam too. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you- Alexis

Hi Madison,
You can buy the sponge in drugstores, some supermarkets, and at your local Planned Parenthood health center. You don’t need a prescription or your parents permission to buy the sponge. A package of three sponges costs roughly $9 – $15.
