A short health questionnaire and an on-site blood pressure check are required. Based on this screening, a pharmacist can determine whether hormonal contraception is appropriate and safe.<\/p>\n<p>If so, the pharmacist can provide the medication directly, without the need for a prior visit to a clinic or doctor.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-can-use-this-service\"><strong>Who Can Use This Service?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This service is available to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Individuals of any age, including minors<\/li>\n<li>Residents and non-residents of New Jersey<\/li>\n<li>People with or without insurance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>No proof of residency is required, and confidentiality is protected.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-need-to-bring\"><strong>What You Need to Bring<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A valid form of identification (if required by the pharmacy)<\/li>\n<li>Insurance card (optional, if you plan to use insurance)<\/li>\n<li>Be prepared to complete a health questionnaire and have your blood pressure checked<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is no prescription required beforehand.
