About Complete Family Care

What is Complete Family Care?

Complete Family Care is a family medicine practice at 43956 Mound Rd. in Sterling Heights, Michigan, open more than 40 years in Macomb County. The practice covers the usual range of primary care, from annual checkups and immunizations to chronic disease management and pediatric visits, and it also runs a bioidentical hormone therapy program for men and women. Steven Margolis, M.D., FAAFP, DABCL, leads the practice and is described as having established the county's first bioidentical hormone center; he is joined by nurse practitioners Jason Barney, DNP, AGNP-C, and Ashley Barney, DNP, AGNP-C. The hormone program starts with hormone evaluation and testing, and the practice says treatment plans are built around individual results and adjusted over time. This is a family medicine clinic first, with hormone therapy as one offering alongside internal medicine and pediatric care.

What does it cost?

Complete Family Care does not publish prices for hormone therapy or for any of its other services. It does say the initial consultation is free: "Our initial consultation is completely free and designed to understand your unique health needs without any obligation." Beyond that, nothing is stated about what testing, follow-up visits, or the hormone medication itself cost, or whether those costs are billed to insurance or paid out of pocket. Ask directly about program pricing before you commit to anything beyond the first visit.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the three providers, Dr. Margolis, Jason Barney, or Ashley Barney, would actually write your prescription, and whether that depends on what type of hormone therapy you need. Ask what the hormone evaluation and testing costs, and whether the price you're quoted for ongoing care includes the medication or is separate. Ask whether the hormone medication is a brand-name product or compounded, since that affects both cost and how it's regulated. Ask whether your insurance is accepted for the office visit and labs even if the hormone treatment itself is cash pay, since the practice holds a PCMH designation that suggests it works with insured primary care patients. Ask how follow-up visits and dose adjustments are billed over time, and whether telehealth is an option if you can't always get to Sterling Heights.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone therapy handled inside an established family medicine practice, by the same people who could also manage your blood pressure, your cholesterol, or your annual physical, rather than through a clinic that only does hormones. It makes less sense if you're looking for a program with published pricing up front or a practice built solely around hormone or longevity care, since you'll need to call and ask about cost and logistics before you know what you're committing to.
