Women’s Health Services

I am so glad that you are here and choosing to trust me with your health and hormone journey! Please read a little about our process of becoming a new patient as well as frequently asked questions below! I look forward to seeing you soon!

New Patients (PLEASE READ PRIOR TO YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT):
To establish care, we require a two-appointment PACKAGE (you have the option of in-person or virtuaStep 1: The FIRST VISIT includes a 50 minute comprehensive health consult to discuss your entire health history, review your current nutrition and lifestyle, discuss any symptoms and concerns, and tailor a detailed lab evaluation just for you.
Step 2: The SECOND VISIT is also a 50 minute consult. In this visit, you will review your labs in detail with your provider and discuss a complete and individualized plan of care moving forward. Your plan of care will include nutrition and lifestyle modifications, supplementation, as well as medication / hormone replacement therapy if needed.
COST: $600 TOTAL (You have the option of paying 50% (or 100%) of your new patient package at the time of your first visit. The remaining 50% is due by your second appointment).
Established Patients:
We offer a few different visit types if you have already undergone the process above to establish care.
1) 50 Minute Follow Up Visit (Virtual or In-Person): $250
2) 25 Minute Follow Up Visit (Virtual or In-Person): $150 (25 min appointments are offered on an as-needed basis by your provider when we feel appropriate. We find that these visits are often not enough time to truly provide the quality of care that we prefer. These visits are for simple check-ins throughout the year. If you have not had a comprehensive lab review and visit in 12 months, a 50 minute consult is required).
3) 10 Minute Urgent Care Visit to address one urgent issue (i.e UTI, vaginitis, etc) (Virtual Only): $75 (10 minute appointments are booked upon request through our patient portal)
Weight Loss Program:
We work with women on a daily basis to optimize hormone and metabolic function and are often able to reach weight loss goals with lifestyle, nutrition, hormone replacement therapy, neutraceutical and/or additional pharmaceutical therapies alone. However, we truly believe that many of our patients will greatly benefit from the use of low dose GLP-1 agonists (ie compounded semaglutide) in conjunction with their holistic plan of care. We believe that these medications are safe and highly effective when utilized under the direct supervision of a licensed and trained medical provider who is also working to optimize nutrition and hormone/metabolic function of the patient.
We are offering this program after patients have first undergone the two-step process to establish care. This includes an initial visit & assessment with a full lab evaluation as well as a follow-up visit to review labs and establish a holistic plan of care. We truly believe in the importance of an integrative assessment and lab evaluation first to ensure that any underlying issues are being addressed simultaneously (ie inflammation, hormone deficiencies, thyroid disorders, nutrient deficiencies, etc).
Further, we have found that these medications are extremely costly and almost always denied coverage by even the best insurance plans when it comes to weight loss use. Therefore, we only prescribe sterile compounded versions of these meds that are shipped directly to your doorstep.
The cost of the program is $400 each month for semaglutide (cost varies for tirzepatide based on dosing) and includes an 4-week supply of medication as well as a bi-monthly check-in and continual communication with our provider, RN and staff.
Gut Health Testing
We offer GI map testing and food sensitivity testing through RUPA Health for established patients. These both can be key players in optimizing hormone health and reducing inflammation.
We order this type of testing through RUPA Health, and you are able to pay them directly for the cost of each test. These tests are performed at home. Cost varies depending upon the type and extensive nature of the test being ordered. We do not charge an additional fee for the test. We do require a 50 minute follow up visit ($250) to review your results and create a detailed plan of care.
Existing patients please feel free to book your next appointment via our patient portal or contact our office if you are unable to do so.
Please note* – The Women’s Health Company, LLC is a cash pay, fee-for-service clinic.
We truly value the time and specialized care that we provide to each patient. Unfortunately, insurance plans often severely limit the time a practitioner can spend with a patient as well as the type of care they can provide. Therefore, we do not participate with any healthcare insurance plans. While appointments with our clinic are cash pay, you are able to use your private insurance plan to order bloodwork through LabCorp. We also accept HSA/FSA cards as payment.
Prior to your first appointment, you will receive a non-refundable $10 invoice through our payment processor to hold your appointment. We will also store this credit card information on file and charge the remainder of your appointment at the time of your visit as well as any subsequent appointments that you may have. The card information is kept secure by our payment system.
