What Elektra Health is

Elektra Health pairs menopause care with a free education platform and community.

Coaching is available in every state.

Elektra sees patients for clinical care in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Its clinicians also prescribe GLP-1 medications for menopause-related weight gain, and some prescribe testosterone in New York.

Elektra Health pricing in 2026

Elektra has no membership fee. If it is in-network with your plan, you pay your copay or coinsurance. Out of network, the cash price is $249 for a 30 minute first visit and $149 for each 15 minute follow-up. Medication is paid at your pharmacy, and Elektra says its clinicians try to prescribe drugs your insurance covers.

Its insurance list is long in some states and short in others. In New York it lists plans including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid. In several of its newer states it lists Oscar only.

Sipra builds care into each product's price. The HRT cream (Bi-Est, estradiol and estriol) starts at $95/mo, estradiol tablets with progesterone at $190/mo, the brand Dotti patch with progesterone at $390/mo, progesterone alone at $85/mo, and vaginal estradiol at $99/mo, with membership included in each price.

If Elektra is in-network for you, it can cost little. If it is not, add every visit and every pharmacy fill before you compare.

Where each one falls short

Elektra serves 16 states for clinical care, cash visits are priced per visit, and medication is a second cost at the pharmacy. A year with several dose adjustments can mean several billed visits.

Sipra's HRT cream is compounded. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as, or equivalent to, any branded product. Sipra does not bill insurance, including Medicare, and testosterone for women is Coming Soon. Sipra backs longer plans with the Sipra Promise, which refunds medication not yet sent to the pharmacy on 6 and 12 month plans if you stop partway through. Sipra is LegitScript certified, certificate 50053943.
