What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight management, hormone therapy or its memberships. The two main tracks are MHT Focus, a 6 month membership for hormone therapy, and Upleveled Midlife, which adds weight management. In its own words: "Midlife reMDy is a private, physician-led micropractice and does not contract with insurance companies."

A membership can be paid as one payment or in 3 monthly installments, and the installment total is slightly higher. Accepted payment includes cash, check, ACH transfer, debit cards and major credit cards. Medications are not included in the membership fee. Lab work is not included either, though discounted cash prices from Quest Labs are shared at the appointment. Each prior authorization carries a $50 fee. No fee is stated for the first visit, called a Power Hour. HSA and FSA funds can generally be used, and the office can provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement, though it cannot guarantee that reimbursement.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the full price of MHT Focus or Upleveled Midlife and the Power Hour fee before you schedule. Ask what follow-up visits cost and how cancellation and refunds work, since that is not spelled out. Ask which weight management medication would be prescribed, whether it is brand name or generic, and what it would cost at your pharmacy. The practice says it does not prescribe compounded anti-obesity medications, so confirm that and ask what your plan covers.

Ask what the lab tests will cost, and whether a prescription you need would trigger the $50 prior authorization fee. Ask which medications would require an in-person visit under federal rules. Dr. Troutman works as a consultant and does not perform well-woman exams, pelvic exams or pap smears, so ask who will handle your routine screenings.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman 35 or older in Pennsylvania, you are ready to pay directly for physician-led menopause and hormone care, and you already have a primary care doctor or ob-gyn for routine screenings. It is a poor match if you need a visit billed to insurance or want one clinic to handle your well-woman exams.
