About WomanCare

What is WomanCare?

WomanCare is an OB/GYN practice with offices in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Its core work is women's health: prenatal care and delivery, family planning and infertility evaluations, wellness exams, perimenopause and menopause care, and NovaSure endometrial ablation. Hormone replacement therapy is one service on that list. In its own words, the practice offers hormone replacement therapy "in the form of hormone pellets to relieve unwanted symptoms of menopause and restore hormone balance." It describes the pellet procedure as done in the office.

The prescribers listed are Christopher S. Grady, MD; Ronald L. Wright, MD; Amanda Davenport, MD; and Melissa Yannetti, DO. The practice also lists Chelsae Nugent, APRN, WHNP-BC, and several certified nurse-midwives: Elizabeth Quinkert, RN, CNM; Alison Reid, RN, CNM, CLC; Jennifer Hayes, APRN, CNM, CLC, SANE; Rebekah Shirrell, APRN, CNM; and Jamie Stefanski, APRN, MSN, CNM. Babies are delivered at Clark Memorial Hospital's Family Birth Place and at the Tree of Life Family Birth Center.

This listing is for its Jeffersonville office at 301 Gordon Gutmann Boulevard, Suite 201.

What does it cost?

WomanCare does not publish prices for hormone pellet therapy or for a consultation. It accepts insurance, and patients are asked to pay co-pays, deductibles and non-covered services on the day of the visit. On its hormone page, the therapy is called cheap in its own words: "Our hormone pellet therapy is also extremely affordable." No figure is given to back that up, so ask for one before you book. Membership plans, financing and HSA use are not mentioned.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether your insurance covers a pellet visit, and which insurers the practice accepts. Neither is stated. Ask for the total cash price of the pellet visit, the consultation and any follow-up, in writing.

Ask which provider places the pellets and who writes the prescription. Ask which hormones go into the pellets and whether the product is a brand-name drug or compounded. The products are not named.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits are needed, how often, and what each costs. Ask whether any part of the care can be done by telehealth, since that is not stated. Finally, ask how to cancel or reschedule and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want an OB/GYN practice for pregnancy, gynecologic care or menopause visits, and you are willing to get the cash price in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you are looking mainly for a cash-pay weight loss, peptide or longevity program, since the clinic lists none of those services.
