Alliance OB/GYN

About Alliance OB/GYN

What is Alliance OB/GYN?

Alliance OB/GYN is mainly a women's health practice offering obstetrics and gynecology, with offices in Delran, Hainesport and Lumberton, New Jersey. Hormone therapy is one of its services, alongside prenatal care, C-section, minimally invasive robotic surgery, urgent care and menopause care. The clinicians listed as prescribers are Chike Obianwu, MD; C. Sage Claydon, MD, FACOG; Chantel Smith, MSN, APN; and Bhaven Murji, MD, MSc.

Its hormone therapy centers on EvexiPEL pellets, which the practice describes as a bioidentical hormone replacement method. Pellets are placed under the skin during a short in-office visit. The practice says treatment begins with hormone testing and continues with monitoring. It names estrogen and testosterone, and it also has a section on thyroid hormone therapy. Its menopause page names Dr. Obianwu, and its blog ties Dr. Obianwu and Dr. Murji to the pellet therapy. The practice does not list weight loss or peptide services.

This listing is for its Delran office at 5045 Route 130 South Suite I.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for hormone therapy, pellets, consultations or follow-up visits. It does say it accepts insurance, and it lists plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid, Horizon NJ Health and Tricare. It does not say whether those plans cover hormone therapy or the pellets themselves. It also lists CareCredit among its patient services, but it does not explain how that applies to hormone care. Whether the pellets are included in any fee is not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of these clinicians will prescribe your hormones and who handles your follow-up. Ask whether the pellets are compounded or made by a manufacturer, and whether a brand-name product would change the price. Ask what the first consultation costs, and whether hormone testing, pellet insertion and follow-up testing are billed separately. Ask whether insurance covers each of those steps, and what you would pay if it does not. Ask how often follow-up testing happens, what it costs, and whether follow-up visits can be done by telehealth. Finally, ask how cancellation works if you commit to a plan, and whether CareCredit financing would apply.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already want gynecology, menopause or other women's health care from one practice and would like hormone therapy handled inside it. It is also a fit if you are willing to confirm what your insurance covers before you commit. It is less of a match if you came for weight loss, peptide therapy, or a clinic that publishes its prices up front.
