The men's health benefit men actually show up for.
Men ignore their health until it becomes an emergency. Pylon is preventive care built around a service men seek out on their own, which is how we get them in the door years earlier and keep them coming back.
You built benefits for everyone, and men still aren't using them.
Over the last decade, employers built specialized benefits for women's health, family building, fertility, and mental health. Utilization followed. Retention followed. Men's health got nothing equivalent, and men are the population least likely to use what does exist.
They skip screenings, ignore symptoms, and enter the system when something breaks. By then, the conditions that were cheap to catch have become expensive claims, and most of the men carrying them never knew.
There's a hole in your benefits stack for half your workforce, and it's the preventive one.
of men avoid seeking medical care for as long as possible.
Cheap to catch, ruinous to miss.
The conditions Pylon screens for every quarter are the same ones that generate an outsized share of preventable claims in a male workforce. Managed early, most cost less per year than a single ER visit. The published arithmetic:
We won't turn these numbers into a savings projection, because a credible one requires your claims data and a matched cohort, and no vendor's slideware has either. What we'll say is simpler: these conditions are sitting in your male population right now, undetected, and quarterly screening finds them while the fix is still a generic prescription and a conversation.
Men show up for care they want. That's the whole strategy.
Pylon members come in through hormonal health, monitored to a high medical standard. Regular check-ins require labs, and every one of those labs is a screening opportunity.
The doorway
Members start with care they're already seeking: physician-led hormonal health, with evidence-based protocols and real clinical oversight.
The labs
Quarterly biomarker panels, every quarter, indefinitely. Core hormone markers ride alongside lipids, metabolic markers, and blood pressure readings, so the screenings men skip for decades happen four times a year without anyone having to remember them.
The care
When the labs surface something, a Pylon clinician acts on it. Metabolic health, sleep, and mental wellbeing get handled by a team the member already trusts, because he chose to be there.
Get men in the door for the care they want. Keep them for the care they didn't know they needed.
Built for your diligence process.
Consumer telehealth companies tune their clinical models for conversion rates. Ours is tuned to pass a procurement review.
Care is delivered by licensed physicians under protocols written and owned by our medical leadership. Prescribing follows evidence-based clinical thresholds rather than marketing funnels, with controlled-substance compliance, e-prescribing safeguards, and monitoring requirements built into the platform. The monitoring never sunsets, either: members are seen and tested quarterly for as long as they're in our care.
Bring your medical director and your compliance team to the first call. This model was designed to be inspected.
Your employees' health data is theirs.
You see enrollment and engagement in aggregate, and that is the entire feed. Individual labs, prescriptions, and visit records never reach the employer in any form, including summaries and de-identified extracts that a small team could reverse.
Men enroll in a hormone program because they trust that wall.
Preventive medicine your workforce will actually use.
Prevention that gets used.
Preventive care only works on people who participate, and men famously don't. Pylon's engagement mechanism is the product: the entry point is care men seek out on their own, and the screening rides along with it.
Engagement in an unserved category.
A meaningful line in your total rewards story for a population no other benefit reaches, in a category with no incumbent.
Activation is contractual.
Reaching your people is written into our agreement as an obligation we carry. We produce the campaigns, you distribute them through channels you already own, and if enrollment falls short, that failure belongs to us. The contract says so.
Reporting you can stand behind.
Aggregate enrollment, engagement, and utilization, delivered on a schedule. Real numbers, no individual data, nothing you have to caveat to your leadership.
Your team's lift is an afternoon.
Pylon runs alongside your health plan rather than inside it, which means launch requires no claims feeds, no TPA integration, and no plan amendments. Members pay for their own care at a published price. Your commitment is a nominal PEPM and a contractual obligation to distribute enrollment materials through your existing channels.
Employers who want to contribute toward the member price can, and we'll walk you through the options.
Published member price, paid by the member.
The questions your diligence team will ask.
Testosterone is how most members find us, and it's held to a rigorous clinical standard. The product is everything built around it: quarterly screening, metabolic health, sleep, and mental wellbeing, for members on hormone therapy and members who never touch it.
Point-solution fatigue comes from benefits nobody uses. The complaint is real, and utilization is the answer to it. Pylon exists because the usual preventive offerings reach everyone except the men, and this one is designed around what actually gets them through the door.
No. Pylon is member-paid and runs outside your plan at launch. Standard medications a member may need (statins, blood pressure agents) route through his existing pharmacy benefit like any other prescription.
No. Pylon does not prescribe or manage GLP-1s. Metabolic care in our model is built on screening, generic first-line medications, and structured behavior change.
A nominal per-employee monthly fee and your distribution channels. Members pay $199 per month for their care. Employers can optionally contribute toward that price.
Licensed physicians operating under protocols owned by Pylon's medical leadership, with quarterly labs and visits as the minimum standard of care.
Aggregate enrollment and engagement reporting, never individual health data. See Privacy above; we mean it.
We work through them. If your broker hasn't heard of us yet, introduce us.
