Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What types of birth control can you prescribe?

Providers can offer prescriptions for pills, patches, vaginal rings, injections, emergency contraception, and certain non-hormonal options. Long-term methods such as implants or IUDs may require referral depending on your location.

How do I know which contraceptive method is right for me?

Your provider will evaluate your medical history, menstrual patterns, lifestyle, and personal preferences to help you choose the safest and most effective method.

Can birth control help with menstrual symptoms?

Yes. Many hormonal contraceptives can help regulate cycles, reduce heavy bleeding, decrease cramps, and improve symptoms of PMS or hormonal imbalance.

Is the consultation private?

Absolutely. All visits follow strict HIPAA standards to protect your privacy. In-home visits offer added comfort and discretion.

Can you prescribe birth control during a virtual visit?

Telehealth screenings can review your symptoms and medical history. If appropriate, providers may prescribe birth control without an in-person exam.

Do I need an exam for birth control?

Some methods require a physical exam, while many do not. Pills, patches, rings, and certain forms of emergency contraception often require only a consultation and medical review.

Is emergency contraception available?

Yes. Providers can prescribe emergency contraception and guide you on proper timing, safety, and next steps to prevent unintended pregnancy.

Does insurance cover birth control?

Most insurance plans cover many forms of contraception with little to no out-of-pocket costs. Coverage varies by plan, and staff can help verify your benefits.

What if I experience side effects?

Mild side effects such as nausea or mood changes may occur when starting a new method. Providers can help adjust your prescription or recommend alternatives if side effects persist.

Can I switch contraception methods?

Yes. If your current method is causing side effects or no longer meets your needs, your provider can help you switch safely while maintaining consistent pregnancy protection.

Is birth control safe for teens?

Yes. Contraception is safe for most teens and is often recommended for pregnancy prevention and menstrual regulation. Providers offer confidential, supportive care.

What happens during the consultation?

Your clinician will review medical history, reproductive goals, and symptoms, discuss contraceptive options, answer questions, and provide prescriptions when appropriate.

Do I need follow-up visits?

Follow-ups are recommended to ensure your chosen method works well and to address any concerns or adjustments needed based on how your body responds.

Can in-home or in-clinic providers help with long-term options?

Providers offer guidance on long-term contraception such as implants or IUDs. Some insertions may require referral to a specialist, and your clinician will coordinate next steps if needed.
