Sprintec Birth Control Pill

Many of our patients have insurance but prefer to pay out-of-pocket to have birth control delivered. Sadly many insurance plans restrict you to one pack at a time, or charge a co-pay for birth control not that different from the $15/pack our pharmacy charges.

Many of your local pharmacies including Walmart, Sams Club, Safeway, and Rite Aid have machines that can measure your blood pressure for free.
