Maven Clinic

4.5/5

Maven is the most comprehensive maternal-health telehealth platform for Black mothers, but employer coverage is the main way most patients access it; self-pay is expensive.

Best for Black women with employer-sponsored Maven coverage; one platform for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, mental health, and lactation.

Hers

4.0/5

Hers is the broadest single-platform women's-health telehealth for self-pay Black patients, but Nurx is cheaper for birth control on insurance and Maven Clinic is deeper for maternal care via employer benefits.

Best for Black self-pay women who want one platform for birth control, hair growth, mental health, and weight management.

Mahmee

4.4/5

Mahmee is the most Black-maternal-mortality-aware online maternal-health platform, Black-founded with care coordination as the structural feature. Access depends on whether your Medicaid plan or employer contracts with them.

Best for Black mothers whose Medicaid managed care plan contracts with Mahmee, or whose employer benefits include the platform.

How we ranked

Each platform scored on Black-maternal mission alignment, care-coordinator quality, Medicaid managed-care contract footprint, clinical scope (OB, mental health, lactation, pediatric), and outcome-measurement track record. Refreshed October 2026.
