Society of Family Planning Clinical Recommendation: Telemedicine in family planning care part 2 - Contraception

Listen to this summary

This clinical recommendation aims to provide evidence-based guidance for optimizing contraceptive care through telemedicine in the United States. The authors address how to effectively deliver various contraceptive services remotely, including counseling, initiation, and follow-up care, while emphasizing the importance of patient choice in service delivery modes and the safe prescribing of contraceptives, particularly combined hormonal contraceptives and progestin-only methods. Additionally, the document advocates for a hybrid approach for long-acting reversible contraception, allowing for both telemedicine and in-person options.
