About Harmony Health Partners

What is Harmony Health Partners?

Harmony Health Partners is a telehealth-first practice serving patients across Connecticut. It has one in-person office in Gales Ferry at 1666 Rt 12, Suite 13A, inside GOAT Physical Therapy. In-person visits are limited to when they are clinically needed. Telehealth sessions are available for patients who cannot get to the office.

The practice offers four services: hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, autoimmune care and cancer survivorship support. For hormones, it names bioidentical estradiol, progesterone and testosterone. For weight loss, it uses GLP-1 medications with what it calls personalized support. Its survivorship care is described as support for women dealing with life after cancer. It does not name any peptide or longevity services.

Three providers are named as prescribers: Kristen Stehle, MSN, NP, WHNP-BC, who founded the practice and serves as its Founder & Clinical Director; Alexandra Pitman, APRN; and Crista Prates, APRN, DNP, NP. On Google, the practice is rated 5 from 18 reviews.

This listing is for its Gales Ferry office at 1666 Rt 12, Suite 13A.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. The practice is cash pay only. In its own words: "We do not accept insurance, but can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement." A superbill is an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurer. Whether your plan pays any of it back depends on your plan's out-of-network terms.

Every new patient begins with a 60-minute blueprint visit. The price of that visit is not listed, and neither are follow-up visits, lab work or medication. Ask for each one in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the address. The practice lists its office as both 1566 and 1666 Rt 12, so confirm the suite before you drive out. Then ask the total cost of the blueprint visit and whether any part of it can go on a superbill for your plan.

Next, ask whether any program fee includes medication. If it does not, ask what the medication costs and whether a GLP-1 or hormone medication is brand-name or compounded, and where it is filled. Ask who signs the prescription at each visit, and whether that will be one of the three named providers. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and how the practice decides when an in-person visit is needed. Ask whether telehealth is available in the state where you live, since the service area is listed as Connecticut. Finally, ask how to cancel and whether there is a membership term.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Connecticut, you are ready to pay cash, and you want a long first visit with a named nurse practitioner about hormones, weight loss, autoimmune concerns or survivorship care. It is a poor fit if you need your insurer to handle billing or you are looking for a peptide or longevity program, which the practice does not name.
