FAQ
What do you treat?
Elektra providers can treat menopause symptoms including hot flashes, sleep concerns, fatigue, vaginal dryness/painful sex, and more. We can also address menopause-adjacent health concerns such as high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, hypertension, anxiety/depression, etc.
How does Elektra evaluate and treat menopause?
Elektra follows an evidence-based approach closely adhering to guidelines set forth by The Menopause Society (formerly The North American Menopause Society). This includes the use of FDA-approved hormonal and non-hormonal medications. Our providers are also versed in evidence-based integrative approaches (e.g., supplements and lifestyle interventions).
Does Elektra prescribe bioidentical hormones?
Yes, Elektra does prescribe bioidentical hormone therapy in all its forms (patches, pills, rings, sprays, gels). However, we only prescribe safe and effective, FDA-approved treatments, not compounded bioidentical hormones.
Does Elektra just prescribe hormonal treatment? Or non-hormonal as well?
Elektra providers can prescribe both hormonal AND non-hormonal prescription treatments as well as evidence-backed supplements.
I already have a gynecologist! Why should I also see a menopause clinician through Elektra?
Less than 20% of OB/GYNs receive menopause training in their residency programs, and others simply don't spend time on it during a visit. This means that many women who consult their providers don't receive the care they deserve (in fact, 70% of women who seek menopause care don't receive treatment).
Elektra is trying to fill this gap with providers who are specially trained in menopause — although it's important to note that we are designed to complement, not replace, your in-person care.
How much do visits cost?
If you’re in-network with Elektra, you’ll just have to pay the cost of your regular copay or coinsurance.

I still have questions! Is there someone I can call?
Yes, of course! Feel free to call or text us at (646) 760-6669 – we'd be happy to answer your questions. You can also book by phone.
