Thirty Madison and Talkspace are joining forces to expand access to mental health care for women

There is a gap when it comes to mental health care for women: while 50% of women say they need mental health care, compared to 35% of men, only half of those women have tried to get an appointment for care, and that worked too. 10% tried but couldn’t get an appointment, and 40% didn’t seek care at all.

Thirty Madison is a specialty telemedicine company that operates two companies trying to close this gap: Nurx, a provider of specialized, comprehensive care in women’s health, and Cove, a virtual clinic for the treatment of migraines; 60% of patients with migraines report being diagnosed with anxiety disorders, and 50% of patients with migraines report being diagnosed with depression.

Both companies currently offer mental health services focused on medication management for conditions such as anxiety and depression, but patients will have access to new therapy options through a partnership with telemedicine-based therapy provider Talkspace, including online therapy with a dedicated, licensed provider and the self-guided app .

Talkspace allows users to send unlimited text, video, image and audio messages to providers, who contact them five days a week. The company also offers psychiatric services and prescription fulfillment, adolescent therapy and couples counseling.

More than 130 million Americans have access to Talkspace through their health plans, employee assistance programs, our partnerships with leading healthcare companies, or as a no-cost benefit through their employer, school or government agency.

Patients can use Nurx to access health needs including birth control, PrEP, eyelash growth serum and treatment for genital herpes, oral herpes, migraines, acne, melasma, rosacea, anti-aging, female hair loss, mental health, UTI, yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, as well as home tests for COVID, HPV and STDs.

Patients are asked to answer a few questions about their health and enter their health insurance information; Once they have submitted their order and paid for the medical consultation, a member of the Nurx provider team will assess their health profile and, if medically appropriate, issue a prescription or order tests. Everything is delivered to the patient’s home free of charge in discreet packaging.
