About Wise Women Health and Wellness

What is Wise Women Health and Wellness?

Wise Women Health and Wellness is a women's health practice at 184 Lutz Ave., Martinsburg, WV 25404. The phone number is 304-207-0507. It describes itself this way: "We are a small private practice located in Martinsburg, WV, and we are also able to provide telehealth services to women across the state." Its main work is well woman care, which covers annual exams, routine care and contraception, along with menopause management. It also says it is open to patients across the lifespan, and it sees teens from 13 to 17 with parental permission. It does not provide maternity care.

Anna E Kent prescribes, and she has been providing care to women in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia since 2006. The medications named are Depo-Provera and Nexplanon, both for contraception. For menopause, it offers bioidentical hormone therapy. The bioidentical hormones are made by compounding pharmacies and can be supplied as creams, troches or pellets. Visits are offered in person or by telehealth. It does not list office hours. Google rates it 5 from 3 reviews and files it as a women's health clinic.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It also does not say whether medication is included in any charge, and it does not state membership terms or a cancellation policy.

It accepts Medicaid, Medicare, United/UMR, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna and Aetna. It does not take Tricare or some state insurances. For plans not on that list, it says it offers cash pay options, and it provides a superbill you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement at out-of-network rates. It does not say what those cash pay options cost.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the total price of a first visit and each follow-up before you book, since none is published. Ask whether any price includes the medication, and whether a hormone prescription is compounded or brand-name. Because it says bioidentical hormones are tailored based on hormonal testing, ask which tests are required and what they cost.

If you plan to use telehealth, ask about the state's requirement. The FAQ says West Virginia requires one in-person visit each year, and you must be physically in the state during a virtual visit. Ask where that in-person visit happens and what it costs. If you use insurance, confirm your plan is on the list, and ask how the superbill process works for plans that are not. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether there are fees.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman in Martinsburg or elsewhere in West Virginia who wants well woman care, contraception, or menopause and hormone management, and you can make the required yearly in-person visit. It is not a fit for maternity care, and it does not describe weight loss, peptide or longevity services.
