Women’s Health provides information to students regarding the various forms of contraception (for birth control and menstrual regulation). We can help you figure out which method is best for you. Most methods, including oral contraceptives ("the pill"), Depo-Provera, Nuva-ring and condoms, are distributed at Student Health at a low cost to students. You can make an appointment with a Women's Health Provider to discuss contraceptive options.

If you are currently receiving medication from an outside provider you can still get contraception from Women's Health by making an appointment to review your medical history and make sure you are up to date with your pap smear.

There are two basic ways to get birth control through Women's Health:

1. We can give you a prescription for your current medication and you can take it to a pharmacy. Students on the Penn-sponsored insurance plan (PSIP) have a $15 co-pay for generic medications and a $30 co-pay for brand-name.

Students on PSIP also have the option for a mail-order pharmacy program where they can purchase 3 months of medication for the cost of 2 co-pays. Please discuss this with your Women's health provider.

2. Students can purchase contraceptive products at Women's health. The list below is what we currently offer (generic only) and their brand-name equivalents.

At Women's Health birth control pills are purchased for $15.00/pack. Nuva Ring is $50/ring. Depo is $50 per injection.
