Later Spring data report
Telehealth is now the default option for menopause care
For anyone outside a major metro, the practical answer to “there is nobody near me” is usually a video appointment with someone licensed in your state.
Analysis of the Later Spring directory (6,401 listed practitioners). Data as of .
How many practitioners offer telehealth?
4,331 of 6,401 listed practitioners — 68% — say they see patients by video appointment. 964 of them are licensed to provide telehealth in more than one state, which is what makes cross-state access possible at all.
Why does my state still matter for a video call?
Clinicians can generally only treat patients physically located in a state or region where they hold a licence. A video appointment does not remove that constraint, so the question is not “does this practitioner offer telehealth” but “are they licensed where I am”. Practitioner profiles list the states each one covers, and the telehealth page lets you start from your own state instead.

Method and limits
Every figure on this page is counted directly from the Later Spring directory, which is compiled from two public professional registers. It measures listed practitioners, not all practitioners: clinicians who treat (peri)menopause without joining either register are not counted, so these numbers are a floor, not a census. Fields such as areas of expertise and telehealth availability are self-declared.
