Elektra Health and Oscar Partner for Menopause Care

In a groundbreaking move, Elektra Health, a prominent virtual care provider for menopause, has teamed up with Oscar Health to unveil HelloMeno, the first individualized menopause health plan available on the ACA marketplace. This innovative partnership aims to address long-neglected healthcare needs for millions of women transitioning through menopause.

Addressing a Critical Need

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life that, unfortunately, comes with a myriad of disruptive symptoms and long-term health implications. Despite this inevitability, the traditional healthcare system has largely ignored these needs. According to Jannine Versi, Co-Founder and CEO of Elektra, "Our collaboration with Oscar ensures that millions of women finally have affordable and comprehensive access to clinical care, education, and support that can significantly transform their health outcomes and the decades that follow."

HelloMeno is designed for the estimated 2.3 million women aged 45 and older enrolled in the ACA, empowering them to take charge of their health during perimenopause and menopause. Key features of the plan include:

• - No-cost access to primary care doctors, gynecologists, and behavioral health specialists.
• - Complimentary labs and hormone therapy, including treatments for insomnia and bone density scans.
• - 24/7 access to Elektra's team of menopause specialists who provide validated support and next-step guidance.
• - Affordable options for treating autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.
• - Up to $120 in rewards for completing preventive health screenings like mammograms and referrals to menopause specialists.

Comprehensive Support and Care

Janet Liang, Executive Vice President and President of Oscar Insurance, expressed her excitement about the HelloMeno program, stating, "HelloMeno is made for all of us. We offer real talk, trusted providers, and reliable resources. This plan not only enhances care but ensures that women feel supported as they navigate the physical and emotional challenges of mid-life."

Women aged 45 and older represent a growing demographic that frequently faces high healthcare costs. Instead of managing multiple appointments with different specialists, HelloMeno will provide a streamlined path for early intervention and high-value treatments that prioritize women's unique healthcare needs. Patients will work with their primary care providers alongside Elektra’s certified clinicians to ensure they receive the appropriate care at an affordable cost. Additional community support and one-on-one coaching, coupled with FDA-approved therapies, will be integral components of this revolutionary plan.

Enrollment and Availability

Enrollment for HelloMeno will be open from November 1, 2025, through January 15, 2026, with coverage kicking in on January 1, 2026. The plan will be available in several states, including Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
