Frequently Asked Questions

We're a telehealth practice which means our visits are virtual. 

Book an appointment  to get started. 

• To provide a relationship with you that doesn't involve a hand-on-the door feel, we have choose to NOT accept insurance but run my practice as CASH based only. If feel it provides you the best care and allows us to do our job more thoroughly as we don't have insurance mandates, requiring charting demands and measures to be met in order to pay providers (these mandates take away from the patient). 
• Functional Medicine/Holistic services are considered out-of-network for all insurance providers. We will provide paperwork (superbill) for office visits as requested that include CPT codes, diagnosis codes, and Tax ID information, so you can submit for reimbursement from your insurance company if desired. Unfortunately,  we cannot promise reimbursement, so you may want to reach out to your insurance company to determine if there is any coverage.

HSA/FSA will be accepted for visits. It is the patients responsibility to pay the practitioner in full should the HSA/FSA deny the service. 

 While there are risks and benefits to every medical therapy, the benefits of hormone therapy have shown to far outweigh the risks. The risks are even further reduced for women who are within 10 years of menopause.

The safety of and efficacy of hormones has been well studied and analyzed. The study outcomes suggest that bioidentical hormones are the safer, more effective option for treating conditions and symptoms of hormone imbalance when compared to methods of hormone therapy that use non-bioidentical hormone therapies.

In addition to effectively treating hormone imbalance, other studies have linked bioidentical hormones to a reduced risk of cardiovascular complications and breast cancer when compared to non-bioidentical hormone therapies. 

When we're young and having menstrual irregularities or having sx of hormone imbalance, it's not a sign that we need to replace your hormones but more that your hormones need optimized. Often, hormones are not communicating correctly and the ovaires are confused. In these cases, supplementation and nutrition work wonderfully in optimizing the ovaries so the body be back in sync. 

 There are some women who are not good candidates for hormone replacement therapy. That is why we use an individual approach to determine what is best for you. You may not be a candidate if you are more than 10 years past menopause, or if you have certain risk factors, including a personal history or cancer and other health conditions.

Regardless if you are a candidate for BHRT or not, it is important for the rest of your hormones to be balanced. This includes a close look at your thyroid hormones, cortisol levels, and insulin levels. We will work with you to optimize all of your hormone levels to improve your quality of life! 

At the conclusion of your program, we will work with you to decide on an ongoing course of treatment to keep you on your path to a healthier you.
 

 A hormone imbalance will not simply go away on its own. Seek the care of an expert in hormonal health who can help you get to the root of your problems and support your wellbeing with effective solutions.
