About Summer Breeze Menopause & Hormone Care

What is Summer Breeze Menopause & Hormone Care?

Summer Breeze Menopause & Hormone Care is a menopause and hormone practice at 1425 Liberty Road, Suite 202, in Eldersburg, Maryland. The one person named as prescriber is Summer McKissick, MSN, CRNP, A-GNP-C, a nurse practitioner whose listing gives her a certification in obesity medicine and advanced training in menopause care.

The practice lists six services: an initial consultation, follow-up care, hormone therapy options, non-hormonal therapies, metabolic support, and lab review and education. Metabolic support is one service among several, so this is mainly a menopause and hormone clinic. The hormone medications it names are an estradiol transdermal patch, oral estradiol, and oral micronized progesterone. It also describes testosterone as an off-label option for select women. In its own words: "We offer both bio-identical and synthetic hormone options, depending on what’s right for you."

Telehealth visits are available, but you must be in Maryland or Virginia during the virtual visit. Appointments are listed as available as needed, with no fixed office schedule. On Google, the practice has 5 stars from 13 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not publish a consultation fee. It describes itself as a self-pay practice for clinical visits, which means you pay for those visits directly, in exchange for longer appointments. It also says lab testing and prescription medications are submitted through insurance whenever possible, and that a detailed superbill is available on request if you want to pursue out-of-network reimbursement. It does not name the insurance plans it accepts, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. Ask for the full cost before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask what the consultation costs and what a follow-up visit costs, since neither is published. Ask whether any monthly or per-visit charge includes the medication, and whether each medication is brand-name or compounded. The practice mentions bio-identical options, so confirm how each prescription is filled.

Ask which lab tests run through insurance and what you pay for any that do not. Ask which insurance plans, if any, the practice bills, and whether your prescriptions will go through your plan. If you plan to use telehealth, confirm the location rule before you schedule. Finally, ask how to cancel or change an appointment and whether any recurring or membership charge applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking for a menopause and hormone practice, you are willing to pay for visits directly, and you want the option of in-person care or telehealth from Maryland or Virginia. It is less of a fit if you need a published price for the full course of care before you commit, since none is shown.
