Where can I learn the availability of birth control near me?
Click Find a Clinic to type in your zip code and find participating Partner clinics near you.
Does No Drama cover IUD and implant removals?
Yes, any woman who wishes for her IUD or implant to be removed can have it removed at a No Drama clinic. If you do not have insurance to cover the removal, No Drama will pay for it.
I don’t have insurance, but I have a hormonal IUD that I want to get switched out for the nonhormonal IUD. Can you help me?
Yes. Our No Drama program will help you find a No Drama clinic to assist you with changing your birth control option for free or low cost.
What do I need to do to get on birth control?
You will need to set up a virtual visit or an in-person appointment with one of our 100+ Partner clinics, where a provider will help you determine which option is best for you and help you get it. You can call toll-free 833-438-6922 or fill out an appointment request form.
Can No Drama help me obtain insurance?
No Drama clinic staff can help you determine if you might qualify for insurance through the government’s Medicaid program based on your income, and they can advise you about how to apply. We can also provide you with information on Welvista, a medication assistance program providing free prescription medications to eligible patients in South Carolina. However, No Drama would be unable to advise you on how to obtain private health insurance. (Independently you can compare plans and obtain federally subsidized, private health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace®.)
Learn more about Medicaid or Welvista through our Eligibility information or contact our No Drama Patient Advocate, Amy, at amy@nodrama.org for additional guidance.

Call toll-free 833-438-6922 or fill out an appointment request form. You will then receive a text or call from 803-219-1364 to help schedule a virtual visit or an in-person appointment.
How do I know if I qualify for No Drama?
Any woman in South Carolina qualifies for services through No Drama. If you meet eligibility criteria, your visit and method may be free or low cost.
Is there a way to make an appointment online?
You can fill out an appointment request form. You will then be contacted by No Drama and be connected to a clinic to schedule a virtual visit or an in-person appointment, whichever you prefer.
What are your hours?
Click Find a Clinic, type in your zip code and find participating Partner clinics in your area and their hours of operation for in-person visits. Virtual visits are available at any time.
Does my income affect my eligibility to get a free or low-cost method through No Drama?
Yes, your eligibility is determined by your insurance status, the method you want and your household income. Refer to our eligibility criteria for more information.
What is a virtual visit or birth control by phone?
A virtual visit is a medical consultation with a healthcare provider via secure videoconference. You will be able to speak privately in real-time with the healthcare provider during your a visit or you can choose to answer a confidential checklist of questions and receive a treatment plan after it's reviewed by a provider.
Is a virtual visit appropriate for everyone?
Some birth control methods cannot be prescribed virtually. If you are interested in an IUD, the Implant or a Depo shot, a virtual visit is not right for you. Instead, Find a Clinic near you and make an in-person appointment.
Also, No Drama’s telehealth program is designed to support uninsured women and those on Medicaid. If you have insurance, please Find a Clinic near you and make an in-person appointment. If you need help finding a provider who will take your insurance, chat with us online or email our No Drama Patient Advocate, Amy, at amy@nodrama.org.
Are virtual visits safe?
Yes, all virtual visit sessions are safe, secure and private, just like an in-person appointment. Your virtual visit is completely confidential. In addition, virtual visits are NEVER audio or video recorded without a patient’s consent.
Do I need a South Carolina ID to qualify for birth control?
No. However, you will need some form of identification with a photo, 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, then you will need to provide proof of residency like a utility bill in addition to your photo ID. We encourage you to contact a clinic in your area to confirm what documents will be required. If you are uninsured, check our eligibility criteria for additional documentation you will need depending on what method you choose.
Is this program only available to residents of South Carolina?
No Drama is designed to serve those living in South Carolina. If you are residing in South Carolina temporarily or have moved here but not yet obtained legal residency status, No Drama can serve you. All you need to do is click Make an Appointment, find the closest clinic to you and schedule an appointment. You can even call toll-free 833-438-6922 to do this.
Is there someone who can help me navigate what to do next?
Yes! Amy, our No Drama Patient Advocate, can help answer any questions you have. She can be reached by emailing amy@nodrama.org.
