NEW
YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Legacy, the
country's leading sperm testing and freezing company, and Posterity
Health, the only virtual-first center of excellence for male
reproductive health, today announced an industry-changing
partnership to provide end-to-end male fertility and hormone health
care.
The partnership is designed to help men test, improve, and
preserve their fertility, making personalized, holistic
reproductive healthcare accessible across the United States. The hybrid care model
offers easy at-home testing from Legacy and treatment through
Posterity Health.
The program is designed to provide one-stop-shopping for all
male reproductive care:
- Through Legacy, patients can complete a baseline semen analysis
to understand their sperm health and potential fertility outcomes.
This can include advanced analyses such as DNA fragmentation
testing.
- Posterity Health's male fertility specialists provide
comprehensive male reproductive health care, including fertility
work-ups, low-T management and sexual health care. These services
are available via telehealth or in-person at one of the Posterity
Health treatment hubs.
- Posterity Health can also provide vasectomies, vasectomy
reversals, sperm extractions and other male reproductive
procedures. Legacy makes it easy for vasectomy patients to access
rapid sperm freezing via Legacy's mail-in kit. Similarly, patients
completing a vasectomy reversal can complete post-procedure semen
analyses from home.
- Legacy's multi-site sperm storage ensures that individuals can
have their sperm safely preserved for the future. Meanwhile,
Posterity's integrated Couple's Care model enables a digital
connection to a female partner's healthcare provider, accelerating
care.
Patients with employer-provided fertility benefits can access
these services through leading fertility benefits providers, and
may receive full coverage. "Through this program, folks across the
country will get access to more affordable, more convenient, and
higher quality care," said Khaled
Kteily, Legacy CEO. "Legacy's vision of making male
fertility care a natural, routine part of every man's health
journey aligns perfectly with Posterity Health's mission of making
specialized male reproductive care accessible. More than 25,000
people have tested and frozen their sperm with Legacy, and we're
proud to provide our personalized services to Posterity's clients,
expanding the male fertility offering in the employer space. We
can't wait to help even more people build their families."
"Our vision is to provide every male with the knowledge,
resources and support to optimize their reproductive health," says
Dr. Barrett Cowan, Co-Founder and
Chief Medical Officer of Posterity Health. "This partnership will
extend our reach and allow males who obtain a Legacy test to have
immediate access to male fertility specialists. This combined
solution creates a unique, private and personalized experience for
males and couples struggling to conceive. Working together we can
help every couple find their best path to pregnancy, improve the
overall health status of males and dramatically reduce the cost of
care."
