About NorCalHRT

What is NorCalHRT?

NorCalHRT is a hormone clinic at 760 Cypress Ave., Suite 300, Redding, CA 96001. Its main service is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, called BHRT. It also lists Healthy Aging, Men, Women, Thyroid and PCOS services, but gives no detail about the last four. The clinic is by appointment only, and the phone number is 530-921-3601.

Blake Massey, PA-C, is the clinician the practice centers on, and he has practiced in Northern California since 2001. He works under the direct supervision of Dr. Paul Davis, D.O., but the practice does not explain what role Dr. Davis plays in patient care. In its own words: "Blake tailors your hormone prescription specifically for you." Its Google listing shows an average of 3.6 from 7 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, or whether hormone medication is included in any fee. Many bioidentical preparations are available at a regular pharmacy and paid for by insurance, but that is a separate cost from the clinic's own charges. Ask for the full cost in writing before you book, including the first visit, follow-up visits, lab work and the medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the office takes insurance or only cash pay, and whether any HSA or financing is accepted. Ask whether the hormone medication is part of any fee or billed separately, and whether it is a brand-name product or a preparation made by a compounding pharmacy. Ask who writes and signs your prescription, and what part Dr. Davis plays in your care.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, since its hormone plans are based on measured lab values. Ask whether any visit can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is any ongoing commitment. Ask how long a first visit takes and how to book, since the clinic lists by appointment only.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a hormone-focused practice in Redding, you are comfortable with a PA-C as your main clinician under a physician's supervision, and you can get written answers on cost and medication before your first visit. If you need published prices or a clear answer on insurance before you book, call and get those answers first.
