What happens at my new patient visit?

At your initial visit, you’ll meet with our patient care coordinator. She’ll spend time going over your history and your goals. She’ll review options and treatments available in our practice and obtain your initial labs. If you’re being seen for hormone therapy, a consultation will be scheduled with a provider to review your labs and establish a treatment plan.

 

Do you take health insurance?

No. Our practice is considered “direct care” or “cash pay”. Lack of insurance hassles and paperwork allows us to keep our prices reasonable. It also keeps the insurance companies from dictating your medical care, allowing the patient and provider to be the sole stakeholders in the therapeutic relationship.

 

Do you accept Flex Spending (FSA)/ or Health Savings (HSA) cards?

Yes. It is your responsibility to ensure that services are covered by your individual plan.

​

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes. If you'd like to come in and meet with our a staff member to find out more about our services, we suggest booking an initial consultation with our Patient Care Coordinator who will walk you through our practice, our services and answer any questions you may have. 

 

Will you send my prescriptions to my normal pharmacy?

No. Bioidentical hormones are compounded medications and are created in specialized hormone compounding pharmacies. We do not prescribe most commercially available medications. Compounded hormones are shipped to your home as part of our membership programs.
