What We Evaluated
Clinician credentials and menopause-specific training. What medications are prescribed (FDA-approved vs compounded, branded vs generic). Total monthly cost including all fees (medication, platform, consultations, labs, shipping). Intake thoroughness (contraindication screening, risk assessment). Follow-up structure and clinician accessibility. Cancellation process and prescription portability. Insurance acceptance.
What To Check Before You Pay
- Whether the monthly price includes medication or just the platform fee
- Which specific products are prescribed and whether they are FDA-approved
- Whether labs are included or billed separately
- What the cancellation process is and whether your prescription transfers if you leave
- Whether the clinician managing your care has NAMS certification or equivalent menopause training
The Alternative Worth Considering
A local NAMS-certified menopause practitioner (find one at menopause.org/for-women/find-a-menopause-practitioner) can prescribe the same generic FDA-approved HRT for $20 to 65 per month medication cost, with office visits and labs covered by insurance. The telehealth premium makes sense when local menopause expertise is unavailable or inaccessible, but it should be a conscious choice, not a default.
Additional Platforms Worth Noting
MyMenopauseRx. Founded by Dr. Hanna. Insurance-friendly model similar to Midi. Growing reputation. Worth comparing if Midi’s billing issues concern you.
Ro (Ro Body for women). Expanded into women’s health including menopause. Offers branded and compounded GLP-1s and HRT. Part of a broader telehealth ecosystem.
Hims/Hers. Hers offers menopause products. Consumer-focused with aggressive marketing. Less menopause-specialized than dedicated platforms.
The telehealth HRT market has matured significantly since 2022. What was once a handful of startups now includes insurance-accepting clinical platforms, direct-to-consumer prescription services, and compounding-focused providers. The differences between them matter - for your care quality, your wallet, and your safety.
We evaluated five platforms on clinician credentials and menopause-specific training, what medications are prescribed (FDA-approved vs compounded), total monthly cost including all fees, intake thoroughness and contraindication screening, follow-up structure, cancellation ease and prescription portability, and insurance acceptance.
Platform Comparison
Midi Health. Care model: video consultations with menopause-trained clinicians (OB/GYNs, NPs). Medications: FDA-approved bioidentical HRT (estradiol, micronized progesterone, vaginal estrogen). Also prescribes GLP-1s for weight management and SSRIs/SNRIs for mood and vasomotor symptoms. Pricing: insurance-covered visits for most PPO plans. Self-pay initial visit $250, follow-up $150. Medication cost depends on insurance formulary. Insurance: in-network with most PPO plans in a growing number of states. Does not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or HMO plans. Strengths: insurance coverage is the single biggest differentiator. Comprehensive clinical model including video visits, coaching, and weight management. 230,000+ patients. Weaknesses: self-pay cost is the highest of any platform ($250 initial). Billing complaints on Trustpilot are a recurring theme. Not available for Medicare/Medicaid patients. Best for: women with PPO insurance coverage who want the most comprehensive, clinically rigorous telehealth menopause care.
Alloy Women’s Health. Care model: asynchronous physician consultation via messaging. No video visits. Medications: FDA-approved generic HRT. Also sells compounded specialty products (estriol face cream, vaginal arousal cream). Pricing: $49 annual consultation fee. HRT prescriptions from approximately $40/month. Specialty products $50-100+/month. Insurance: not accepted. HSA/FSA eligible. Strengths: FDA-approved focus for systemic HRT. Low annual fee. Board-certified physicians following ACOG/Menopause Society guidelines. Extensive product line (HRT, skin, hair, sexual health, gut health, weight management). Weaknesses: significant markup on some products vs pharmacy generic pricing - one Trustpilot reviewer noted vaginal estrogen cream at $100+ through Alloy vs $14-24 with GoodRx at a retail pharmacy. Asynchronous-only model means no face-to-face clinician interaction. Some compounded products sourced from pharmacies with past FDA inspection findings. Best for: women who want straightforward, FDA-approved HRT at a modest annual fee and are comfortable with asynchronous communication.
Evernow. Care model: text or video connection with menopause-specialized provider. App-based with symptom tracking. Medications: FDA-approved HRT (estradiol patch, pill; progesterone; norethindrone). Also prescribes venlafaxine and paroxetine for non-hormonal symptom management. Pricing: membership starting at $35/month. Medications additional at $20 to 60 per month (can be sent to local pharmacy for insurance coverage). Insurance: not in-network, but medications may be covered through local pharmacy fill. HSA/FSA eligible. Strengths: lowest membership entry point ($35/month). Medications can be sent to your own pharmacy (potentially insurance-covered). Proprietary research (100,000+ patient study showing 68 to 75% symptom improvement). Symptom tracking app. Weaknesses: limited treatment scope (HRT and two SSRIs only - no GLP-1s, no other medications). Available in approximately 35 states. Best for: women who want affordable menopause-focused care with symptom tracking and the option to fill prescriptions at their local pharmacy.
Winona. Care model: asynchronous questionnaire intake, physician review and prescribing via patient portal messaging. No live consultations. Medications: compounded bioidentical products (estrogen creams, progesterone, DHEA). Not FDA-approved as finished products. Pricing: from approximately $30/month per product. Total cost varies by treatment plan. Insurance: not accepted. HSA/FSA eligible. Strengths: lowest per-product starting price. Active community (Facebook group). Easy pause/cancel via portal. High Trustpilot scores (4.7/5, 5,713 reviews). Unlimited physician messaging included. Weaknesses: all products are compounded (not FDA-approved). No labs required before prescribing - their stated position that labs are "unreliable" diverges from NAMS guidance, which supports lab testing for baseline screening and specific clinical scenarios. No live consultations at any point. Available in only 33 states. Best for: women who prefer compounded products, want the lowest entry price, and are comfortable with fully asynchronous care without live clinician interaction.
The Alternative: Local NAMS-Certified Practitioner
Before choosing any telehealth platform, check the NAMS provider directory (menopause.org/for-women/find-a-menopause-practitioner). A local NAMS-certified clinician prescribes the same FDA-approved generic HRT ($20 to 65 per month for medication), accepts insurance for visits and labs, can perform physical examinations, and can order imaging (mammography, DEXA, ultrasound) directly. The telehealth premium is justified when local menopause expertise is unavailable. It is an unnecessary expense when a qualified specialist is accessible in your area.
What To Check Before Enrolling
Does the platform accept your insurance? (Only Midi does for visits). What medications are prescribed - FDA-approved or compounded? What is the total monthly cost including all fees? Is the intake process thorough (contraindication screening, risk assessment)? Can prescriptions be sent to a retail pharmacy if you leave? Is cancellation self-service or does it require phone/email?
