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 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.
