Question 1

Is there really no cost to join the women’s pelvic health program? How?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Hinge Health is covered through employers and health insurance plans, so there’s no cost to you. Get care when you need it—without the burden of copays and other hidden costs.

Question 2

Who is eligible to join? What do I have to do to join?

Accepted Answer

This program is designed for women and individuals born with vaginal anatomy. It addresses pelvic floor disorders in all stages of life, many of which occur more often during pregnancy, following childbirth, and in menopause. You and your spouse/partner and dependents ages 18+ are eligible to join as long as Hinge Health is covered by your employer or health insurance plan. So first be sure you’re covered.

Second, we’ll ask you to fill out a questionnaire (it takes about 10 minutes). We use your information to create your account and make sure the Women’s Pelvic Health Program is a good fit for you. We may determine you’re not able to join if your questionnaire or insurance information is incomplete, or if you are restricted from or need physical support to exercise.

Question 3

I have a high-deductible plan. Is the program still available at no cost to me?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This program is still available at no cost to you. It’s fully covered through employers and health insurance plans.

Question 4

What's expected of me if I join?

Accepted Answer

We ask you to commit to 15 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week. You can always do your exercises every day if you like. No matter how many times a week you choose to exercise, we’ll do everything we can to help you stick to your program.

Question 5

How easy is this program to follow?

Accepted Answer

This program was designed to be easy to follow and convenient to use! Once you enroll, simply log into the Hinge Health app and start your exercises right away.

All of the exercises are guided, so you’ll always know what to do. Each session should take about 15 minutes or less. If you need help at any point, you can reach out to your care team for support.

Question 6

What do I need for my exercise sessions?

Accepted Answer

You’ll need the Hinge Health app and a comfortable place to exercise (don’t worry if it’s not the ideal space. It only needs to be practical). For some exercises you may need to use a chair or lean against a wall for support. When you open the app to begin your exercise session, we’ll let you know what equipment you’ll need.

Question 7

Who is my care team?

Accepted Answer

Your care team includes a dedicated physical therapist who will help fine-tune your care plan and conduct virtual physical therapy sessions if needed. Members who are treated for chronic pain (pain that lasts or recurs for 3+ months) get one-on-one coaching and support from a qualified health coach.

Question 8

What are pelvic floor disorders?

Accepted Answer

Pelvic floor disorders occur when the pelvic muscles and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs are weakened or injured. Pelvic organ prolapse, bladder control problems (e.g., urinary incontinence), bowel control problems (e.g., fecal incontinence), and pain during intercourse are among the most common disorders. They can occur at any age but are most common during certain life stages, such as pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.

Question 9

How prevalent are pelvic floor disorders?

Accepted Answer

One in four women has a pelvic floor disorder (e.g., urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse). And the prevalence increases with age: pelvic floor disorders impact nearly 10%  percent of women aged 20 to 39 years, about 26% percent of women aged 40 to 59 years, around 37% percent of women aged 60 to 79 years, and 50% percent of women 80 or older⁵.
