About Health Associates Medical Group

What is Health Associates Medical Group?

Health Associates Medical Group is an integrative and functional medicine practice at 3301 Alta Arden #3, Sacramento, CA 95825. By its own account, it has been practicing in Sacramento for more than five decades. Kirk Hamilton, PA-C, is the one prescriber named. The practice offers six service lines: personalized diet and supplement planning, specialized intravenous therapies, homeopathic treatments, bio-identical hormone therapies, holistic cardiology, and advanced regenerative therapies. Google lists it under alternative medicine practitioner, with a rating of 4.8 from 17 reviews.

The IV menu is the longest part of the offerings. It includes vitamin C, Myers' Cocktail, glutathione, alpha lipoic acid, NAD+, hydrogen peroxide, and chelation therapy. The regenerative menu includes pressure wave treatments, including one described for erectile dysfunction. For hormones, the practice puts it this way: "We offer hormone replacement using naturally occurring hormones that are biologically identical to those your body produces, rather than synthetic alternatives." It does not name the hormone medications.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether it accepts insurance. It does not say whether telehealth is offered. There is a "Talk to a Doctor" option with no appointment needed, but no fee is listed for that call or for any visit. Phone questions for brief medical matters are taken from 8 to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, and no office hours are listed. Before you book, ask for the full cost of a first visit, the hormone medication, the lab work, and each infusion, in writing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription for hormone therapy and for each infusion. Ask whether Kirk Hamilton, PA-C orders every treatment. The holistic cardiology service and the homeopathic treatments are not tied to a named prescriber with a stated credential, so ask who provides each one and what credentials that person holds.

Ask whether any monthly or per-visit fee includes the hormone medication, and whether that medication is brand-name or compounded. Ask what "biologically identical" means for the specific product you would receive. Ask what lab work costs and how follow-up visits are billed. For IV treatments, ask whether each one is priced per visit or sold as a package. Finally, ask how to cancel, whether there is a membership term, and whether a visit can be done by phone or video.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want integrative care with a named prescriber, with nutrition, IV, and hormone services under one roof, and you are willing to get prices in writing before any treatment. It may not suit you if you need a published price list or a clear answer on insurance before you call.
