In New York, birth control pills are legal for both minors (under 18 years old) and adults. Minors do not need parental permission to obtain birth control. However, minors and adults both need a prescription, written by a physician, to obtain many forms of birth control, such as pills, IUD, etc. This typically involves a basic consultation with a doctor. However, depending on your medical history, you may also need to receive a pelvic exam before getting the prescription. Once the prescription is written, you can typically fill the prescription immediately. If a special procedure is required, this will usually only be scheduled after the initial consultation/exam. Note for minors: If you go to a Title X clinic, your appointment, billing and records will remain confidential.
