Your first appointment in the office will be all about getting to know you and making sure all is up to date. Our office will contact you before the visit to complete your intake forms. Your first visit will include a comprehensive annual exam, along with a review of your goals and concerns, evaluation of your health status, past history, and assessment of your hormone stage. You will leave the visit with a personalized plan. Our goal is that you have the necessary tools to meet your goals as well as have a team to keep you on track.

Concierge medicine is a type of medical practice where the Physician, Physician Assistant, or Nurse Practitioner is able to spend more time with each patient and provide in-depth care. It is designed to allow a slower-paced, more personalized environment and the highest quality care, including convenience and service, to support optimal health for each patient. By limiting the number of patients in the practice, our true. providers can address all of your midlife, menopause, sexual health questions, as well as provide your primary care. This includes wellness evaluations and a personalized Life Action Plan. You can expect your provider’s undivided attention, superior preventive care and detailed midlife, menopause and sexual wellness education.
Our true. doctors are available through the texting service 24/7 just in case any problems arise and can help you decide next steps to take.

The membership fee allows you greater access to our team in a calming office promising high-touch, relationship-based care. This fee is not covered by your health insurer, but your visits may be covered by insurance depending on your insurance. Our model is different in that you pay a membership fee in advance for the ability to schedule visits with our providers, access to our specialized women’s health team, educational content, and 24/7 access with the true. texting service. We will work with you to understand how this will work with your insurance, but suggest you also discuss this with your insurance and contact us with questions.
While the membership fee is ineligible for Flex Spending or HSA, whatever is not covered from the medical services bill from your visit should be a qualified medical expense for purposes of an HSA or FSA. No part of the concierge fee paid by Medicare patients can be applied towards Medicare-covered service.

When we order blood work, diagnostic imaging (x-rays, bone density tests, MRI, etc.) specialists visits, or allied healthcare (physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.) the provider of those services will bill your insurance directly. We will bill your insurance for the services we provide and participate with most major insurance companies.
