My practice operates on a cash-based model, an approach that allows me to provide the time and attention each client deserves, free from the constraints and limitations often imposed by insurance companies. Free from insurance protocols, I can offer a more personalized and comprehensive approach to your healthcare.

This model enables me to focus not only on treating symptoms but also on prevention and overall wellbeing. It allows for longer consultations, more thorough evaluations, and better flexibility to tailor treatment plans specifically to your needs without the restrictions of insurance coverage.

Though I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide you with detailed receipts and documentation that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network benefits.

Yes, I accept payments through Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). These accounts allow you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare expenses, making it a convenient and cost-effective way to manage your healthcare costs.

When scheduling your appointment or receiving services, simply inform me that you would like to use your FSA or HSA for payment. I will provide you with the necessary documentation to ensure a smooth transaction. If you have any questions about using your FSA or HSA, feel free to contact me for assistance.

Yes, I offer lab work services through a variety of contracted providers. This allows you the flexibility to choose a provider based on your insurance coverage or cash pay options. My goal is to ensure you have access to the necessary lab work in a way that best suits your financial and wellness needs.

Yes, I can measure body composition using advanced technology. I am proud to own and partner with Styku, a leading 3D body scanning system. Styku provides precise and comprehensive body composition analysis, allowing me to see changes in body shape, fat percentage, and muscle mass over time. This innovative technology helps me tailor your treatment and wellness plans more effectively, ensuring you receive the best possible care for your health and fitness goals.

Yes, I'm able to prescribe a variety of medications as part of your personalized treatment plan. This includes hormone therapies and other prescriptions specifically tailored to women's health needs. My primary goal is to ensure you receive the appropriate treatment to support your overall health and well-being.

Whenever possible, I strive to prescribe medications and therapies that are compatible with your insurance plan to help manage costs and ensure accessibility. If you have any specific questions about the medications or therapies we offer, please feel free to reach out for more information.

No, the nature of my practice at Nurture for Women does not allow for primary care or general gynecology services. I specialize in specific areas of women's health and focus on providing specialized care tailored to your needs. For primary care and general gynecology services, I recommend establishing a relationship with a primary care physician or a general gynecologist. If you need help finding a suitable provider, I'm happy to offer recommendations or resources to help you connect with the right healthcare professionals.

If you are a patient of mine from my previous practice and already have a plan in place, your first appointment at Nurture for Women will be treated as a returning patient visit. You have the flexibility to choose between an in-person appointment at our Columbia office or a convenient Telehealth session.

Please note, if you have only seen me for routine GYN care (such as an annual) or problem visits and have never had a consultation for your specific concern, you will need a New Patient Initial Visit. This will allow for a 60 minute appointment.

Cancellation and rescheduling requires 24 hours notice. Failure to cancel or reschedule an existing appointment will result in a $75 fee. Appointment cancellations and rescheduled appointments must be done through the patient portal.
