New Partnership Expands Hormone Health Benefits for Canadian Employees: What You Need to Know
If you have employer health benefits, you may soon get access to specialized hormone health programs that could save you money and time. A new partnership between Science&Humans, a Canadian digital hormone health platform, and Quebec-based Segic means employees at companies using Segic's benefits marketplace can now get virtual care for conditions like menopause, PCOS, and fertility issues.
What This Means for You
This partnership fills a gap in traditional healthcare. Hormone issues are often overlooked or treated with fragmented care. Now, if your employer uses Segic, you can access:
- Virtual consultations with clinicians
- Diagnostic tests
- Personalized treatment plans
- Wellness coaching
This could mean shorter wait times and more comprehensive support for hormone-related health issues that affect millions of Canadians.
Key Details
- Effective date: Immediately for employers using Segic's platform
- Conditions covered: Perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, fertility, andropause, and metabolic health
- Provider: Science&Humans (Canadian digital platform)
- Partner: Segic (Quebec-based benefits marketplace)
Who Is Affected
- Employees at companies that use Segic's benefits marketplace
- Employers and brokers who can now add these services to benefits packages
- Canadians without employer coverage — Science&Humans also offers direct-to-consumer services, though costs may vary
What You Should Do
- Check your benefits: Ask your HR department if your plan includes Segic's marketplace
- Suggest adding it: If not, you can recommend adding Science&Humans as a benefit option
- Explore direct options: If you don't have employer coverage, visit Science&Humans' website for direct-to-consumer services
- Talk to your doctor: If you have hormone-related symptoms, discuss whether virtual care could help
Bottom Line
This partnership makes specialized hormone health programs more accessible and affordable for Canadians with employer benefits. If your company uses Segic, you can now get virtual, clinician-led care for conditions like menopause, PCOS, and fertility issues. Check with your HR department to see if you're covered, or suggest adding this benefit if you're not. For those without employer coverage, direct-to-consumer options are available but may cost more.
