New Britain OB/GYN

About New Britain OB/GYN

What is Women's Health?

Women's Health is an obstetrics and gynecology practice with several offices. Its core services are OB/GYN care: pregnancy, annual well-woman exams, birth control, menopausal care, endometriosis treatment and pelvic floor health. It also offers laparoscopy, robotic surgery, in-office mammography, LGBTQIA+ care, and teen and adolescent gynecology. Its care comes from physicians, nurses and midwives.

Of the four services you may be looking for, it lists menopausal care, the nearest match to hormone therapy. Its resources include an article on HRT and weight loss, which states that HRT is not a weight-loss drug and is not prescribed as one. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine among its services.

Weight loss comes through a referral to Pounds Transformation Medical Weight Loss, a program founded by Charlie Cavo and Michelle Cavo. It is a partner program, not a service this practice runs itself. Its providers can prescribe medications when necessary, and its team includes nurses and registered dietitians. In its own words: "This program is an extension of your regular ObGyn care."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for visits, menopausal care or the Pounds program. It lists the insurance carriers it accepts, among them Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Medicaid and United Healthcare, so check your own plan against that list.

For Pounds, the team runs a benefits investigation before the first appointment to estimate your out-of-pocket costs. It does not say whether the program fee includes medication.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which providers at your office would see you, and who would sign a hormone prescription. Ask whether the Pounds program carries a fee, whether that fee includes medication, and whether any medication is brand-name or compounded.

Pounds monitors insulin resistance, glucose, thyroid stimulating hormone, vitamin D and cholesterol. Ask which of those tests your plan covers and what follow-up visits and lab work will cost you. Ask how cancellation works and whether visits can be done virtually, since its menu lists a Virtual Care section. If peptide therapy or longevity care is what you came for, ask directly, because neither is among its services.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you need OB/GYN, pregnancy or menopausal care from a practice that accepts insurance, and you would be open to a referral to a partner weight loss program. It is a weaker fit if peptide therapy or longevity medicine is your main goal, since neither is among its services.
