About Modern Midlife for Women

What is Modern Midlife for Women?

Modern Midlife for Women is a women's health practice run by Debbie Tashlein, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, a women's health nurse practitioner who describes herself as board-certified. She is the only prescriber named. The practice operates under the name of Pelvic Health Solutions of CT LLC.

Its main focus is midlife care: perimenopause, menopause and hormone therapy. Thyroid, metabolic health, sexual wellness and pelvic floor concerns are also on its list. It says that, based on your symptoms and history, it may prescribe FDA-approved hormone therapies such as patches, gels, pills or vaginal estrogen, compounded hormones when clinically appropriate, or non-hormonal medications.

In-person visits take place at 71 Bradley Road in Madison, CT. Telehealth is offered to women in Connecticut, New York and Florida. On Google, the practice is listed as a women's health clinic with a 5 rating from 8 reviews.

This listing is for its Madison office at 71 Bradley Rd UNIT 4.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or for visits. Its only published prices are three session packs. "Breeze" is $50 for four sessions of any service, valid one month. "Awaken" is $150 for twelve sessions, valid three months. "Elevate" is $200 for twenty sessions, valid six months. None of these packs names hormone therapy, and none says whether medication is included.

The practice is fully cash-pay and out of network. In its own words: "My practice is fully cash-pay, which allows me to provide longer, more personalized visits and direct access to your care without insurance barriers." It provides a superbill for patients not on Medicare, and you can use insurance for labs, imaging and prescriptions. It also mentions structured programs of 6 or 12 months that can be paid monthly, and says HSA or FSA funds may be usable for membership plans. The first step is a free 15-minute phone consult. It does not say what the 60-minute first telehealth visit or the 30-minute follow-ups cost.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which plan includes hormone therapy, since the published packs do not name it, and ask whether the monthly program fee covers the medication or whether it is billed separately. Ask whether the hormone prescribed would be FDA-approved or compounded, and what each option costs. Ask for the total cost of the first visit, including any labs or imaging, and the price of a follow-up. Ask how Quest lab orders are billed and whether your insurance will cover them. If you need pelvic floor care, ask when the in-person Madison visit would happen, because that part of care is not done by telehealth. Ask for office hours, which are not listed, and for a suite number if you plan to visit. Finally, ask how a 6- or 12-month program is cancelled and whether unused sessions are refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a cash-pay nurse practitioner for midlife hormone questions and can join by telehealth from Connecticut, New York or Florida, or can visit in Madison for in-person pelvic floor care. If you need a practice that bills insurance for its visits, this one does not.
