Healix Health reports 77% rise in menopause claims among women in their 30s
Gender-specific health benefits usage rose 16% year-on-year, with 87% of usage coming from women, mostly aged 30-49.
Healix Health saw a 77% rise in menopause-related claims among women in their 30s in 2025, compared with the year before.
Data found claims for women in their 50s increased by 29%.
Gender-specific health benefits usage rose 16% year-on-year, with 87% of usage coming from women, mostly aged 30-49.
This comes as the Government is set to bring in new workplace menopause action plans for employers with 250 or more staff.
Voluntary action plans will be published from April 2026, with a mandatory framework planned for spring 2027, subject to secondary legislation.
The guidance includes manager training, occupational health support, workplace adjustments and menopause-specific policies.
Keira Wallis, head of clinical operations at Healix Health, said: “More women coming forward for support is a positive sign, but rising claims also show that this demand has been building over time.
“What stands out is that this isn’t limited to one age group.
