About Bosque Women's Care

What is Bosque Women's Care?

Bosque Women's Care is a women's health and gynecology practice at 6801 Jefferson St NE, Suite 350, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Gynecology is the core of the practice. Its services include well-woman exams for all ages, birth control, menopause care, fibroids, heavy or abnormal periods, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and endometriosis, STI testing and treatment, fertility and pregnancy planning, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Hormone replacement is one service among these. Its services do not include weight loss, peptide or longevity care.

Six clinicians prescribe at the practice: Carrie Swartz, MD, FACOG; Gillian Norris, CNP; Bethany Ford, PA-C; Whitny Schluter, DNP; Tara Kolberg, CNP; and Maia Polinger, PA-C. On hormones, the practice is direct: "We do not offer pellet therapy, but instead utilize FDA-approved bioidentical hormones." Its Google listing shows a 4.3 rating from 548 reviews, under the category women's health clinic.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or any membership, financing or cash-pay rate. It also does not say what a hormone visit, a follow-up or lab work costs.

It does accept insurance. Its list names Blue Cross Blue Shield, Presbyterian, UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE, Friday Health Plan, True Health New Mexico, Aetna, Cigna, Humana and Centennial Plans, and it adds "and many others." It also says it is not contracted with some UNMH plans or Engage plans, and it asks patients to call their insurer or the office to check. Whether a hormone visit is covered by a listed plan is not stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which clinician would write your hormone prescription, and who you would see for follow-up, since six clinicians prescribe there. Ask whether the hormone medications are brand-name or compounded. The practice says it uses FDA-approved bioidentical hormones but does not name the medications, so ask for the names and what each one costs, and whether the medication is billed on top of the visit.

Ask what the consultation, the hormone visit, the medication and any lab work each cost, and whether your plan covers the hormone visit. Ask how often you would need to return and whether follow-up visits are billed separately. Ask whether telehealth is available, since that is not stated, and what the office hours are, since none are listed. If you want a nonhormonal option for menopause symptoms, ask how it is priced. If any ongoing fee applies, ask how to cancel it and whether there is a notice period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want gynecology care in Albuquerque with hormone replacement as part of it, and you want to check your insurance before you book. It is a weaker match if weight loss, peptide therapy or longevity testing is your main goal, since none of those appear among its services.
