Overview

The Pill Club operates an online platform that prescribes and delivers birth control through its own pharmacy, using a medical questionnaire and tele-nursing (live or text) to connect patients with options. Customers receive prescriptions and delivery to their door within two to three days. The company launched in 2016 and has expanded across most U.S. states, reaching 43 states plus D.C. by January 2021 and adding five more states since, with plans to reach all 50 states by the end of 2021. The Pill Club reported record revenues, crossing $100 million in annual run rate for the first time in its four-year history. It monetizes via medical visit fees, insurance reimbursement for prescriptions, and cash payments; 16% of new patients in the past three months were on Medicaid. The company is piloting additional services, including dermatology and expanded period care, and plans to use new capital to launch more services for members. The Pill Club operates a telemedicine and direct-to-consumer platform that prescribes and delivers birth control by combining healthcare services with at-home pharmacy fulfillment. The company runs its own pharmacy, is licensed to prescribe in 35 states, and reaches customers in all 50 states. It employs a team of doctors, nurses and patient care coordinators and has a roughly 260-person team. With the new financing the company plans to scale the business by 50% and expand its prescription service across the entire U.S. The Pill Club also intends to explore launching additional women’s-health services and broaden its educational content for customers. The company has raised $51M in a Series B, bringing total capital raised to $67M.
