Here are several reputable online clinics and services that women over 40 commonly use for menopause/perimenopause hormone care, with a quick note on why each might be a fit. Availability, scope, and cost vary by state, so check whether they serve your state and whether they bill insurance.
Recommended telehealth clinics and services
-
Gennev — Focused specifically on menopause care. Offers video visits with clinicians who specialize in midlife women’s health, personalized HRT plans, coaching, and educational resources. Good if you want a menopause-focused program and community support.
-
Elektra Health — A telemedicine clinic specializing in menopause and perimenopause treatment. Emphasizes evidence-based HRT, individualized plans, and monitoring. Good if you want a menopause-first provider with specialized clinicians.
-
Maven Clinic — Large women’s/ family health telehealth platform that includes menopause and midlife women’s care. Useful if you want broader women’s health services plus menopause care and often easier insurance/employee benefits integration.
-
Tia — Women’s primary care and gynecology telehealth that offers midlife and menopause management. Good if you prefer an integrated primary care approach with gynecologic expertise and care continuity.
-
Parsley Health — Membership-based functional-medicine practice that does in-depth labs and longer visits, including hormone evaluation and individualized HRT or non-hormonal plans. Best if you want extensive testing, lifestyle/functional approach and are willing to pay a premium.
-
PlushCare (and other general telehealth platforms) — Not menopause-specific but commonly used for HRT prescribing when you want quick access to a board-certified clinician and simpler treatment plans. Good for straightforward needs or if you have trouble finding a specialist in your area.
Helpful lab/testing partners (complementary, not replacements for a clinic)
- Modern Fertility and Everlywell — at-home hormone testing and baseline labs that many women use before or alongside telemedicine visits. Useful for getting objective hormone levels, but tests should be interpreted by a clinician.
How to choose the right clinic
- Confirm board certification and menopause/HRT experience of the clinicians.
- Make sure they order and monitor appropriate labs (FSH, estradiol, TSH, lipids, etc.) and provide ongoing follow-up.
- Ask whether they prescribe bioidentical vs. conventional hormones, and whether they use compounding pharmacies (and which ones).
- Check whether they accept insurance or if care is out-of-pocket; ask about membership fees and visit costs.
- Read patient reviews and check if they serve your state (telemedicine licensure varies).
If you want, tell me your state, whether you want bioidentical HRT vs non-hormonal care, and whether insurance coverage matters — I can narrow this list to the best match for you and help compare pricing and services.
