Reproductive health insurance
Reproductive healthcare, for everyone
Juniper addresses the existing gap in health insurance by providing pioneering reproductive health coverage encompassing all genders and life stages.
They make it easy for global companies and their employees to understand and access a full suite of benefits like; contraception, sterilisation, hormonal health and blood tests, genetics testing, STI testing, sexual health checks, infertility, surrogacy, gender dysphoria, cancer to reproductive organs, and menopause.
Insurtech Gateway led Juniper’s £1.5M in Pre-Seed round in February 2024.
Problem
More than 14 million working days are lost each year to a reproductive health concern – they can be some of the toughest and longest health journeys we face. But traditional insurers won’t cover them. In the UK, one in three women suffer from reproductive or gynaecological issues, while one in four men experience low testosterone by age 30.
Solution
Juniper addresses a gap in health insurance by providing comprehensive genital insurance for all genders, ensuring easy access for companies and their employees. By better understanding this underrepresented segment of the market they are building an MGA structure to offer reproductive health insurance in a similar way to employee dental insurance.
