About Healthy Connections

What is Healthy Connections?

Healthy Connections is a community health network with offices across Arkansas. Its main work is medical, dental, pediatric, behavioral health and pharmacy care, and it says it has been caring for local communities for over 25 years. The network receives HRSA Health Center Program grant funding. Its hormone program, Hormone Balance & Optimization for Men and Women, is one of its services. It is offered at offices in Conway, Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Little Rock, Mena and Russellville, and by telehealth.

The program is for adults and uses Evexipel bioidentical hormone pellets, which are placed just beneath the skin. In its own words, the program is "focused exclusively on age-related hormone shifts." It states that this does not include gender transition care. Treatment starts with hormone panels, then a consultation with a provider, then a plan with lab reviews and dosage adjustments over time. The prescribers named are Anne Murphy, DO, Gina Tilley, MD, Sandi Armstrong, APRN, Mandi Mears, APRN, and Jennifer Scott, APRN. The clinic does not say which of them works at which office.

This listing is for its Conway office at 2425 Dave Ward Dr., Suite 102.

What does it cost?

The hormone program does not publish prices, and no consultation fee is stated. Healthy Connections says it accepts most major insurance and offers a sliding-fee scale for qualifying patients without coverage. It does not say whether pellets or hormone labs are part of any cost. A general HCI Price List is linked under its For Patients menu, but it is not clear whether that list covers this program. No membership, monthly fee or cancellation terms are given.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which provider will sign your prescription and which office you will visit, since the clinic does not match providers to offices. Ask whether the quoted price covers the pellets, the initial hormone panels, the follow-up lab reviews and the dosage adjustments. Ask whether the pellets are brand-name Evexipel product or compounded, and what each costs. Ask what the first consultation costs and whether labs are billed to insurance or to you.

Ask which steps can be done by telehealth and which need an in-person visit, since the pellets are placed under the skin. Ask how the sliding-fee scale is applied and what proof of income or coverage it requires. Ask how follow-up visits are billed and how you cancel or pause the program, because no cancellation terms are published.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a fit if you want hormone care inside a multi-site Arkansas network that bills insurance, you live near one of the towns listed, and you are willing to get a written price for labs, pellets and follow-up before you book. If you need a published price or a fixed monthly fee before you call, this clinic does not give one.
