FPA Women's Health

About FPA Women's Health

What is FPA Women's Health?

FPA Women's Health is a family planning and women's health practice with an office at 855 E. Hospitality Lane in San Bernardino, CA. It is part of a larger network of FPA clinics across California, including Bakersfield, Berkeley, Fresno, Los Angeles, Modesto, Santa Ana, and more than a dozen other cities, with the San Bernardino office serving as this location. The practice has operated since 1969.

The San Bernardino office lists medical and surgical abortion, birth control (IUDs, the Nexplanon implant, pills), colposcopy, Pap smears, HIV testing, pregnancy testing, and emergency contraception among its services, and it offers telehealth visits for in-person and virtual appointments. Separately, the broader FPA Women's Health site states that hormone replacement therapy for menopause, using estrogen, progesterone, or a combination, is available at its clinics, describing it as "a medically proven treatment for managing menopause symptoms." That page does not specify which of its individual offices carry this service, and the San Bernardino office's own published service list does not mention hormone therapy. Anyone interested in HRT specifically should confirm with the San Bernardino office before booking around it.

This listing is for its Berkeley office at 2915 Telegraph Ave #101.

What does it cost?

A new patient office visit, in person or by telehealth, is $185. An established patient visit (anyone seen within the past 36 months) is $95. Other listed prices include birth control pills at $35 a month, Mirena or Kyleena IUD placement at $1,240, Paragard at $1,325, Nexplanon at $1,510, and a Plan B pill at $65. These fees are described as discounted cash rates for patients without insurance; the practice says it is contracted with over 350 health plans and medical groups in California, so checking your own coverage first is worthwhile. No price is published for hormone replacement therapy itself, including any medication cost, so that is something to ask about directly. On-site financial assistance is mentioned for patients without insurance or the ability to pay.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether hormone replacement therapy is actually offered at the San Bernardino office, since it is not on that location's own service list even though the general site describes it as available. Ask who would prescribe and manage hormone therapy, and what their credentials are. Ask whether the office visit fee covers any part of the medication, or whether that is billed separately, and whether the hormones used are brand-name pharmaceuticals rather than compounded preparations. If you plan to use telehealth for menopause care specifically, confirm that the visit type covers HRT follow-up, since the published telehealth list centers on birth control, STI and UTI treatment, and abortion by mail.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for an established family planning and women's health practice for birth control, abortion care, or routine gynecology, with insurance accepted and several California locations to choose from. It is not the place to go if hormone therapy for menopause is your main reason for calling, unless the San Bernardino office confirms in advance that it provides that service on site.
