12 Things Payer Experts Want You to Know About Women’s Health Solutions

Meet the Experts —

During our In Women’s Health Mini-MBA, two leaders shaping the future of women’s health from inside the payer world — Kristine Homovich and Melissa Reilly — offered a rare, behind-the-scenes view of how payers make decisions that shape which solutions reach millions of women.

Both oversee women’s health programs within major payer organizations. Their teams evaluate new solutions, negotiate complex contracts, and measure whether programs truly deliver outcomes — for both members and employers. What emerged from their conversation is a playbook for anyone building or selling into this space.

1. Fit Matters More Than Flash

Payers aren’t looking for shiny technology — they’re looking for seamless integration. A brilliant idea can fail if it doesn’t align with existing systems, data flows, or care management infrastructure. The best solutions reduce friction, not create new ones.

2. Employers Are the Real Customers

Even though payers administer benefits, employers determine demand. HR and benefits leaders decide which programs get funded. Innovators who understand employer pain points — from absenteeism to fertility support to workforce retention — gain a decisive advantage.

3. Evidence Isn’t Optional

Every claim must be backed by data. Payers need proof of measurable impact — not anecdotes or enthusiasm. Clinical validation, peer-reviewed studies, and longitudinal outcomes build the trust that unlocks coverage.

4. Engagement Is the New Efficacy

A program can be clinically sound yet still fail if no one uses it. Payers assess engagement rates, onboarding friction, and sustained utilization before scaling. The question isn’t only does it work? — it’s will people actually use it?

5. Simplicity Signals Sophistication

Programs that are easy to use and easy to explain outperform complex ones. Each extra step in a user journey drops adoption rates. Clarity, clean design, and streamlined access aren’t nice-to-haves — they’re strategic advantages.

6. ROI Is Multidimensional

While cost savings remain critical, payers are increasingly measuring success in workforce outcomes — retention, productivity, satisfaction, and reduced turnover. Women’s health programs that connect clinical outcomes to business outcomes resonate most.

7. Pilots Build Pathways to Scale

Few payers leap to enterprise-wide adoption. They start with controlled pilots. Vendors who define clear metrics, establish transparent reporting, and demonstrate adaptability in real-time position themselves for long-term partnerships.

8. Quantify Everything

Soft metrics don’t close contracts. Payers want to see tangible improvements — lower ER visits, improved maternal outcomes, reduced claims costs. The more defensible the data, the stronger the case for expansion.

9. Operational Fit Drives Longevity

Even proven programs can stumble if they add administrative burden. Payers value partners who integrate smoothly into HR workflows, member portals, and clinical systems. Solutions that make everyone’s job easier scale faster.

10. Design for the Ecosystem, Not the Silo

Programs that complement existing benefits — for example, connecting fertility, maternity, and menopause care into a continuum — win over those that operate as standalone add-ons. Integration into benefit design is now a prerequisite.

11. Transparency Builds Trust

Open data sharing and co-interpreted results set great partners apart from good ones. Payers don’t just want dashboards — they want insight. Transparency creates credibility and enduring collaboration.

12. Adaptability Is the New Strategy

Women’s health needs — and workforce expectations — are evolving faster than most benefit structures. Payers are seeking partners who iterate with the market, respond to new guidelines, and continuously innovate around member experience.

Bottom line: Winning in women’s health isn’t about selling harder — it’s about aligning smarter. The companies that succeed inside payer environments are those that combine clinical rigor, operational simplicity, and a deep understanding of how employers and payers define value.

Why It Matters

Payers play a central role in scaling women’s health solutions. Understanding how they evaluate programs—from evidence and usability to employer demand and operational fit—helps innovators design smarter, more sustainable offerings.

Women’s health solutions succeed when they combine clinical rigor, measurable outcomes, payer-aligned value, and operational feasibility. Vendors who anticipate payer concerns, provide strong evidence, and communicate comprehensive value are the ones that scale.

Women’s health doesn’t just need more technology—it needs alignment between evidence, economics, and empathy. The future belongs to those who can bridge all three.

🚀 Coming Soon: Women’s Health Reimbursement Summit Series

This December, we’re launching a 3-part virtual summit exploring how payers, employers, and innovators are transforming women’s health access and coverage. Expect insights, strategy, and real-world takeaways that can shape your work in the space.

→The future of women’s health depends on leaders who understand both care and systems — and that’s exactly what our In Women’s Health Mini-MBA is designed to build.

→In this 6-week program, you’ll learn directly from clinicians who are redefining care on the ground. Hear their first-hand experiences with access, innovation, and equity — and explore how those realities connect to the business and policy decisions shaping the field.

→This course bridges the gap between front-line insight and strategic leadership. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of how to create change that lasts — and a network of peers equally committed to doing the same.

What Happens When We Treat Women’s Health as Core Infrastructure

After spending the last 18 months in rooms with people from all backgrounds, political views, and parts of the country — one thing is clear.

There are more things about women’s health that unite us than divide us.

Almost every family, man, and woman has a story about the system failing them or someone they love.

These stories are what bring us together — not what keep us apart.

Today at HLTH Inc., hear Elaine Welteroth on funding midwifery care, Jessica Shepherd on shared platforms for care, Shelley Zalis on connecting women across industries, and Cindy Eckert on navigating bipartisan regulations. Honored to share the stage with these legends.

We might not agree on everything — but we all know the same pain, the same dismissal, the same system. That's our common ground.

PS — Major reveal incoming. 🚨 Follow us on LinkedIn to see how we’re flipping the system and creating something entirely new.

✨ Now … let’s make your career magic happen:

Featured Roles:

Opportunities like this come around once in a blue moon. Never has more impact been possible than in this special role.

The women's health industry is filled with scientific falsehoods, unnecessary medications and surgeries, ignoring suffering women by calling them crazy, and trapping women in vicious cycles. Starting homegrown from a basement, and against all odds, NeuEve is living proof of the revolutionary power of kindness. NeuEve is changing the game. We are a small family business that is a research powerhouse. Led by an OBGYN who knows the true power of nature when combined with science, we have already invented breakthrough products in menopause, bacterial vaginosis, as well many rare and neglected health issues. 

Here is NeuEve's business secret: we actually listen to women.

Now we are discovering more health issues we can solve. And that's where you come in. We need your help so that we can organize ourselves to keep chaos in check. 

Kevin Tao is the son of Dr. Renjie Chang, and he is the leader for the next generation of NeuEve. He is hiring for an Executive Assistant. Kevin's greatest strength is also his weakness: he is too optimistic and too kind. The job of a business leader is to stare at "shards of glass" all day long, face them, then swallow them. "Shards of glass" means the toughest questions no one wants to ask, conversations no one wants to have, decisions no one wants to make, and actions no one wants to take. Your job will be extremely important.  Your job is to help him identify these toughest issues, and to help support him in building up the strength to do what he must do, the grace to accept what he must decline, and the wisdom to know the difference. Your job is to help him build good judgment and strong habits and routines. Your job is to embody (and help those around you embody) our founding principles of Leading from the Front, Intellect and Boldness, Kindness and Curiosity, even in the darkest of times. The health of hundreds of thousands (or millions) of women will be in your hands, and will be affected by decisions you make (even the "boring decisions").

We don’t care if you have tons of experience or not. If your friends tell you that you remind them of Hermione Granger, because you are brave, smart, driven, detail-oriented, always prepared, emotionally conscious, then we would like to speak with you!

If you have a friend who would be perfect (i.e. reminds you of Hermione), forward the job to them! We will pay you $350 if we end up hiring someone you refer to us.

Building the Future of Women’s Health: Inside FemGevity’s Mission and Their Search for a Fractional CMO

Michele Wispelwey, CEO and Co-Founder of FemGevity, launched the company to close a painful and persistent gap in women’s healthcare — one she’s experienced both personally and professionally. Having lost most of her family members at a young age, and having seen firsthand how women in midlife are too often dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told that their symptoms are “just part of getting older,” Michele knew there had to be a better way.

With a background in healthcare strategy and business, Michele understood the system’s flaws — but also how to rebuild it. Her vision for FemGevity was clear: to create a model of precision care for women in midlife, using data, genetics, and diagnostics to uncover root causes rather than simply masking symptoms.

FemGevity is pioneering a new standard for women’s health — one that merges longevity science and precision medicine into accessible, insurance-backed care. This isn’t concierge medicine for the few; it’s a movement for the millions of women who deserve advanced, personalized healthcare that evolves with them.

Under Michele’s leadership, FemGevity is shifting the narrative around menopause and midlife. The company’s mission is simple yet powerful: to extend not just lifespan, but healthspan — helping women live longer, stronger, and more vibrantly through every chapter of life.

💡 Now Hiring: FemGevity is currently seeking a Fractional Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to join their growing team. See the job description here.
