Consumer telehealth · Male fertility & hormones
Posterity Health
Posterity Health is a virtual-first male fertility and hormone clinic with telehealth evaluation and treatment pathways. It is not a provider EHR or patient-engagement inbox.
Strong fit
- Men who want an online-first fertility evaluation, hormone tests, and a clear path to testing or treatment
- Patients comparing male reproductive care led by clinicians, rather than sperm freezing kits alone
- Buyers who want a specialist telehealth clinic with named clinical leaders
Weak fit
- People who only want a low-cost at-home freezing kit with no clinician visit
- Couples looking for full IVF clinic records software for a fertility practice
- Buyers who need a patient messaging inbox for a medical group
Bottom line
Posterity Health is worth using for men who want a virtual clinic to evaluate and treat male fertility and hormone issues. It suits patients who want a clinician-led care plan, not just a storage kit. Those who mainly want at-home testing and sperm freezing may prefer Fellow or Legacy.

Posterity Health is an online-first male fertility and hormone clinic founded in 2021. CEO Pam Pure and chief medical officer Dr. Barrett Cowan lead the company.
Its funding includes a $13M Series A, used to expand care and technology, plus earlier rounds.
It provides telehealth care to consumers. It is not a provider EHR or a freezing-only brand.
For patients, the result is an evaluation and a treatment plan.
Getting started means joining a care plan. Patients should still ask about lab partners and what can be prescribed.
Among the male fertility services we review, Posterity scores below Fellow and Legacy on brand and freezing products. It scores above CryoChoice and Sppare.me on clinician-led evaluation, though few peers offer the same kind of care.
Fellow and Legacy suit at-home testing and freezing from well-known brands. CryoChoice or Sppare.me suit patients who mainly want a simple storage kit.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Prices for telehealth visits, care plans, and related services. Kit-only competitors post simpler freezing prices. |
| What usually drives cost | Visit type, labs, medicines, and whether freezing or referrals are included. |
| What to ask before you buy | The cash price for the first evaluation you need, including labs and any storage or referral fees. |
| Published pricing | Posterity quotes care plans through its site. There is no single kit price like freezing-only peers have. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get Posterity Health to function | |
| A clear goal (evaluation, hormones, testing, or freezing) | Vague goals waste visits. |
| Knowing whether you will use insurance or cash before booking | Surprise bills erode trust. |
| Reviewing what to expect from partner labs or pharmacies | Compounded medicines or lab steps vary by care plan. |
| A timeline for follow-up labs or storage decisions | Loose ends stall care. |
| Identity and consent steps done before the visit | Unfinished intake holds up clinicians. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Complete intake and labs before the consult when asked | Missing information wastes the visit. |
| Write down questions on fertility goals and timelines | Unfocused visits feel thin. |
| Confirm storage or referral next steps in writing | Spoken plans get forgotten. |
| Track out-of-pocket totals across consults and labs | The total cost is spread across many small bills. |
| Report side effects or abnormal results quickly | Waiting quietly makes outcomes worse. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| You need an in-clinic IVF program as the only acceptable setting. | |
| You will not see a clinician and only want an anonymous kit with no follow-up. | |
| You will not complete identity or consent steps. | |
| You expect a provider EHR purchase for a medical group. | |
| You need guaranteed insurance coverage the company does not offer. | |
Value creation time frame

| 3 | Labs and next steps | 1-4 weeks for testing, medicines, or storage steps. |
| 4 | Follow-up | Ongoing review of results and next decisions. |
