About BHRT and INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS

What is BHRT and Integrative Wellness?

BHRT and Integrative Wellness is a small practice in Eagle River, Alaska, run by Chris Kallander, who prescribes. Its main service is bio-identical hormone therapy, with functional medicine as the second. The hormone therapy uses capsules, creams, and tablets, and the medications it names are progesterone, DHEA, estrogens and testosterone. Telemedicine is listed in its menu, but nothing describes how those visits run. Weight loss and peptide therapy are not among its listed services.

Chris Kallander grew up in several Alaskan communities and spent the first 15 years of her career in acute care, including as a registered nurse in Seattle hospitals. Her practice later moved into integrative medicine. Its hormone products are individualized capsules, creams, and tablets, including progesterone, DHEA, and creams for estrogens and testosterone. It does not publish a street address, only a PO box in Eagle River, AK 99577. Its Google rating is 5 from 2 reviews.

What does it cost?

It charges $325 per hour. It does not say whether that hourly fee includes medication. It does not publish a separate consultation fee, follow-up charges, or lab costs, and it does not mention HSA or financing.

It has stopped billing insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid, so you pay at the time of each visit. You then submit the superbill to your insurer yourself. The clinic provides claim forms for several insurers, including Aetna, Cigna and United Healthcare, and advises keeping a tracking record when you mail a claim. Its urine hormone testing goes to outside labs. Precision Analytical in Oregon does not bill insurance, while Genova Diagnostic in North Carolina or Georgia will work with insurance billing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $325 per hour covers the visit alone or includes the hormone medication, and what refills and follow-up cost. Ask whether the capsules and creams are compounded and who makes them, since the clinic names the forms but not their source. Ask what the urine tests cost and whether you pay the lab directly or through the clinic.

Ask where in-person visits take place, since only a PO box is published, and how telemedicine visits work if you live outside Eagle River. Ask how many hours a typical visit runs, so you know what one hourly charge will cover.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want individualized hormone therapy with a functional medicine approach, can pay for each hour at the time of service, and are willing to file your own insurance claims. It is not the right call if your goal is weight loss or peptide therapy, since neither is listed.
