-
We do not participate with commercial insurance, as this would limit the time and access we can offer. However:
– Labs, imaging, and pathology (such as pap smears) are billed through your insurance.
– Superbills are provided for annual visits and procedures, which you can submit for potential reimbursement.
Please note: reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan. -
Your membership includes medication management and lab ordering, but the cost of medications and labs depends on your insurance coverage. Compounded medications or off-label treatments (such as testosterone or GLP-1 therapies for weight loss) are typically out-of-pocket.
-
No. Our practitioners are not enrolled in Medicaid or Medicare, so care and prescriptions are managed outside these programs.
-
Our Virtual Hormone Therapy Program is fully telehealth-based and available to patients in CT, NY, and NJ. It includes secure video visits, messaging access, lab coordination, and prescription management.
-
Yes. Many of our patients come to us for a second opinion or to transition care. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your current regimen and goals to determine the best next steps.
-
Most women in perimenopause or menopause experiencing symptoms such as hot flashes, low libido, sleep disruption, brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, or weight gain are strong candidates. The best way to know for certain is to schedule an initial consultation so we can review your health history and goals.
-
Age alone does not rule you out. Our clinicians will review your cardiovascular and overall health profile to assess safety. Many women benefit from hormone therapy well beyond the “ideal window.”
