What is Embody?
Embody is a women's health clinic in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. The clinical practice, Embody Health PLLC, describes its approach as midwife-led. Its services include women's health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic floor therapy, lactation, perimenopause and menopause care, metabolic health, and skin and aesthetics. In-person care is at 1000 N Lake Park Blvd STE 175, Carolina Beach, NC 28428, and the phone number is 910-659-8577. Video visits are available anywhere in North Carolina, and the clinic lists Wilmington, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte and Jacksonville among the places it serves. Clinic hours are by appointment, with no set hours listed. Its Google rating is 5 from 6 reviews.
Hormone therapy is part of its perimenopause and menopause care. In its own words: "Yes, when it is appropriate. Your clinician reviews your history and discusses hormone and non-hormone options with you." Hormone therapy, non-hormone prescription therapy and lifestyle treatment are each discussed along with their benefits and risks. The clinic does not name the clinician who prescribes. Peptide therapy is not among its listed services, and no weight-loss medication is named.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for hormone therapy or for visits, and it does not say whether labs or medication are included in any price. The first visit fee is not published either. Your first step is a free 15-minute call with its patient care coordinator, followed by an intake form that asks for your health history and insurance information. It accepts select insurance plans and verifies your benefits before your first visit, but it does not name which plans. Coverage depends on your plan, and deductibles, copays and coinsurance still apply. Self-pay pricing is available for care your plan does not cover. Studio memberships are a separate business operated by The Stearns Group LLC, and cancellation requires 30 days' written notice.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who will write any prescription, and get that person's name and credentials before you pay. The clinic describes its approach as midwife-led, but it does not name the prescriber. Ask whether the visit fee includes the medication and the labs, and what labs cost if they are billed separately. Thyroid and metabolic testing are among the labs it may order. Ask whether any hormone prescription is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the first visit costs without insurance, what follow-up visits cost, and how often they are needed. Ask which insurance plans it accepts, and which visits must be in person, since most can be done by video. If a studio membership is suggested, ask its price and confirm the 30 days' written notice before you sign.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are looking for perimenopause or menopause care from a midwife-led practice, can reach Carolina Beach or do video visits from elsewhere in North Carolina, and want the prescriber and the full cost confirmed before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you want a medical weight-loss program with named medications or peptide therapy, since neither is among its listed services.
