Uninsured women in South Carolina qualify for a free or low-cost method. IUDs and Implants are available at no cost to uninsured women. The first three-month supply of self-administered methods — like the pill, patch, ring and shot — are free.

Uninsured women are encouraged to apply for SC Medicaid's Healthy Connections program which covers 100% of all birth control method costs. Visit SC Medicaid to learn more about the benefit program, determine if you qualify or apply directly.

You will need to schedule an in-person appointment with one of our No Drama clinics. Find a Clinic near you and use our online appointment request form to schedule an appointment. Or call toll-free 833-438-6922 and a No Drama staff member will assist you.

You will need a virtual visit or an in-person appointment to receive a prescription for your method. The cost of your initial virtual visit is free when you enter the code provided to you when scheduling your virtual visit. If you choose an in-person appointment, the cost of the visit may vary based on the clinic you select.

No Drama will cover your first three-month supply of the pill, patch or vaginal ring for free.

Bring a photo ID to your appointment, preferably one showing your address in South Carolina. If you have recently relocated to our state, are enrolled in a college or university here, or are a member of the military stationed here, you will need to provide proof of residency like a utility bill in addition to your photo ID.
