Thank you for asking, I'd be interested to hear too.

It doesn't seem to offer much more than a) you'd get through a good GP and b) one consultation with a menopause consultant/specialist.
They aren't providing specialists - the small print says they can refer you to one, so that would cost another £250-£300.
If you want some private support beyond what a GP offers, it may be better to pay for an initial consultation with a BMS listed menopause specialist.

Thank you Jingling. I did think they were offering basically just a chat for £250 with info I can probably gather online. It says if they refer you for bloods that needs to be paid separately, so I struggle to understand what exactly they're offering for £250!!

They are offering the opportunity to have a chat and provide information. You can access all that info from the website of Dr Louise Newson and also Liz Earle Wellbeing (look at the podcasts - eminent gynaes speaking and other specialists.)

I guess they are trying to offer something, as private medical insurance doesn't cover menopause.
