Birth Control Online in Richmond, British Columbia

You are seen by a Canadian licensed doctor authorized by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (CPSBC) to care for patients in British Columbia.

Health care in British Columbia is administered through Medical Services Plan. TelePlus Care is a private virtual clinic — your flat-fee visit is not billed to MSP, and no referral, roster, or wait-list is required.

For free, publicly funded non-urgent health advice in British Columbia, you can also call HealthLink BC (811).

Online care is not for emergencies. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Yes. TelePlus Care offers virtual contraception consultations and same-day prescriptions for Richmond residents. A licensed doctor reviews your health history, blood pressure, and risk factors, then prescribes a combined pill, progestin-only pill, the patch, or the vaginal ring if it is appropriate for you.

This is a virtual care service. Appointment steps are reviewed before you book, and the booking process is clear. The prescription medication is filled and handled separately at your pharmacy.

Our Canadian licensed doctors can prescribe combined oral contraceptive pills, progestin-only (mini) pills, the contraceptive patch, and the vaginal ring. Methods that require in-person placement, such as IUDs and the implant, cannot be prescribed virtually, but your doctor can refer you to an appropriate clinic.

No. Combined hormonal contraception is not suitable for everyone. Your doctor screens for contraindications such as a history of blood clots, migraine with aura, smoking over age 35, uncontrolled hypertension, and current pregnancy. If a combined method is not safe for you, your doctor may offer a progestin-only option or an in-person referral.

Usually the same day. Once your virtual consultation is complete, the prescription is sent to your preferred Richmond pharmacy and is typically ready for pickup within a couple of hours.

No referral is needed. You can book directly at telepluscare.com or call 587-442-4898. We make accessing birth control in Richmond as direct as possible.

In British Columbia, pharmacists have been authorized since June 1, 2023 to independently assess and prescribe hormonal contraception (as can your doctor), and BC PharmaCare covers prescription contraceptives — including most oral pills, hormonal and copper IUDs, implants, injections, the vaginal ring, and emergency contraception — at no cost to residents enrolled in the Medical Services Plan (MSP). Some brand-name products are only partially covered, but a fully covered equivalent is generally available.
