About AstraMed Wellness

What is AstraMed Wellness?

AstraMed Wellness is an integrative practice at 150 Half Day Rd., Suite 204, Buffalo Grove, IL 60089. It combines functional medicine, Direct Primary Care and aesthetic services, and hormone therapy is one part of that. Its hormone program is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men and women, and its therapy may include bioidentical estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. It does not name who prescribes its hormone therapy. Erin conducts its DOT exams.

In its own words: "A thorough 90-minute consultation to review your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle." It offers services in English, Russian and Ukrainian, offers telehealth, and says it is open on weekends and holidays. Google lists it as a medical spa, with a rating of 5 from 13 reviews.

What does it cost?

The functional medicine first visit is listed at $375 without blood work. It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, and the 90-minute hormone consultation has no price beside it. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. Its Direct Primary Care membership has one monthly fee, but no amount is published. It describes that membership as working with no insurance, co-pays or deductibles.

Other listed prices: DOT exam certificate renewal is $100, and a new application is $150. Botox is listed at $12 per unit, with 20% off advertised. Indiba is listed at $149. It does not say whether it bills insurance outside the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the hormone prescription, since no prescriber is named for that program. Ask whether the $375 first visit applies to hormone therapy, whether that visit can be done by telehealth, and whether the hormone panel costs extra. Ask whether the medication is included in any price, and whether the hormones are brand-name or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, how to cancel the membership, and whether cancelling carries a fee. Ask whether it bills insurance for hormone visits, and ask for its hours before you go. Confirm the suite number too, since some listings show Suite 201.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy in a practice that also handles primary care, lab work or aesthetic treatments, and you are willing to get the prescriber, medication and follow-up costs in writing before you book. It is also worth calling if you need a DOT exam, since those prices are published.
