Carrot Fertility has announced the launch of Telemedicine for Menopause, a virtual clinic designed to provide accessible care and hormone therapy prescriptions for people experiencing perimenopause and menopause. The service, which will be available across all 50 U.S. states starting March 2025, aims to address the growing need for specialized menopause care while eliminating the requirement for in-person appointments.
“Carrot is committed to providing personalized care that meets members where they are, ensuring they can access the proper support for their unique journeys,” said Hilary Bartlett, Chief Product Officer at Carrot Fertility. “With the launch of our virtual menopause and midlife clinic, we’re ensuring our members receive best-in-class support and a more convenient, accessible alternative to in-person care, all within Carrot’s integrated platform.”
The new service will be available to members with a Carrot Plan, allowing them to schedule telehealth appointments with vetted menopause specialists who can prescribe hormone therapy and menopause-related medications. These virtual consultations will be integrated with major health insurance plans, and members will have access to Carrot Rx, the company’s premium pharmacy program, for hormone therapy prescriptions.
Dr. Asima Ahmad, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at Carrot Fertility, addressed common concerns about hormone therapy: “Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution for menopause, but it can be a really effective treatment option for managing symptoms for some women. Unfortunately, concerns about potential side effects and risks have significantly diminished its popularity and made it more challenging to access over the past two decades. However, recent research has debunked many misconceptions about hormone therapy, and with the launch of our virtual clinic, we’re removing another barrier to essential treatments for those who need it.”
Beyond hormone therapy, Carrot’s program includes:
- Non-hormonal treatment options
- Mental and emotional support
- Intimate group sessions led by licensed experts
- Access to nutritionists and dieticians
- Dermatological care
- In-person provider network across all 50 states
The platform currently serves millions of members globally through partnerships with more than a thousand employers, health plans, and healthcare systems.
