Out-OF-State-Consulting-Green

Out-of-State Educational Consultations

For those outside California, I offer virtual educational consultations to empower you with comprehensive information on your midlife and menopause journey. These sessions provide in-depth knowledge on the physiology of perimenopause and menopause, and, crucially, the most up-to-date menopause management strategies — including hormone therapy and non-hormonal treatments. I also clarify lifestyle interventions like sustainable diet, exercise, and stress management, offering insights into their benefits and risks.

Our goal is to equip you with guidance on key questions for your local provider and resources to support your preferences. These consultations are strictly for informational purposes; I do not diagnose, prescribe, or establish a patient-provider relationship outside California. Instead, I can empower you to advocate for your best care with your local medical providers.

Additional details to support your journey

Understanding My Approach to Your Care

I provide care primarily through telemedicine sessions. My focus is entirely on providing you with the most comprehensive and personalized care during your menopause journey. To ensure I have ample time to truly understand your needs and develop a tailored plan, our appointment times are often more than double what you might experience in a traditional healthcare setting.

About Insurance

While I do not directly participate with insurance plans, this allows me the freedom to dedicate more time to each individual and offer services I believe best support your health, without the limitations often imposed by insurance contracts.

For potential reimbursement, I can provide you with a superbill that you can submit directly to your health insurance company for out-of-network benefits. Additionally, you are welcome to use funds from your Health Savings Account (HSA) for my services.

Coverage for Prescriptions and Labs

Even though I don't bill insurance directly for consultations, I may still collect your insurance information. This helps facilitate coverage for any prescriptions, lab tests, or imaging that may be part of your care plan. The good news is that most insurance policies typically cover the majority of prescriptions and lab work ordered by my practice. However, coverage can vary depending on your specific insurance carrier and plan.

My Commitment to Personalized Care

The extended one-on-one time I dedicate to each patient allows me to truly delve into your health history, goals, and concerns. I believe this in-depth approach is essential for providing the high-quality, personalized care you deserve. By not participating with insurance companies, I maintain the autonomy to recommend the most appropriate treatments and strategies for you, without external limitations on the scope or duration of your care.

Welcome to your initial visit – a 60-minute consult towards feeling your best! During this comprehensive visit, I’ll take the time we need to truly understand your unique story. Together we’ll delve into your medical history, assess current concerns and symptoms, listen carefully to your specific goals for your health and well-being, and together, we’ll start to build a personalized plan just for you.

I cannot WAIT to meet you!

Welcome back! Especially for anyone starting Hormone Therapy (HT), a 30-minute follow-up visit, scheduled 6-8 weeks after your first appointment, is crucial. It’s our dedicated time to assess how your body is responding to the therapy and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you are achieving optimal results.

This visit is also for any established patient experiencing health changes or new concerns – we want to address them promptly. Once we’ve found the HT plan or dosage that best supports your well-being, we can schedule visits every 6 months or so, but always more often as needed or desired. This dedicated time allows us to make any necessary adjustments, discuss new developments, and ensure your personalized plan continues to evolve with your needs.

If the comfort and convenience of a consultation in your own home suits you best, I’m pleased to offer this mobile service to both new and established patients residing in San Diego County. There will be an additional $100 charge for in-home visits.
