About Optimal Health and Vitality

What is Optimal Health and Vitality?

Optimal Health and Vitality is a women's health practice at 132 Main Street, Suite A, in Prince Frederick, Maryland, 20678. Kimberly Bysheim founded it in 2024, and she is its prescriber: Kimberly Bysheim, CRNP, FNP-BC, MSN. It serves patients throughout Southern Maryland. Google lists it as a women's health clinic with a 5 rating from 4 reviews.

Its main focus is perimenopause and menopause. It offers three services: Hormone Replacement Therapy, Nonhormonal Therapy, and Health Optimization. The medications it names are estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone. Its writing on weight gain during menopause lists GLP-1 medications among medical options, but it does not say whether the practice offers them, so ask. No office hours or telehealth options are listed.

Its articles on hormone therapy say the decision should follow a discussion of your medical history and personal risk factors. That is worth bringing to a first visit.

What does it cost?

The one price shown is a New Patient Consultation at $450. It does not say whether that fee includes any medication. It shows no prices for hormone therapy, nonhormonal therapy, or weight loss treatment, so you will need to get those numbers before you commit.

The practice is direct about insurance. In its own words: "Lab tests and most medications will be ordered through your existing health insurance." It does not accept Medicare beneficiaries at this time. It does not say whether insurance is accepted for visits. No financing, membership, or HSA terms are listed.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and how often you will see that person. Ask whether the $450 consultation includes any medication or lab work, and what follow-up visits cost.

Ask what hormone therapy costs each month, and whether the medication is part of that fee. Ask which forms are offered, such as pills, patches, gels, injections, or creams. If testosterone is part of your plan, ask whether it is a product made for men or a compounded female dose, and who compounds it.

Ask whether GLP-1 medications are offered and what they cost. Ask which lab tests will be billed to your insurance, and what they cost if your plan does not cover them. Ask whether telehealth is available, what the office hours are, and how you cancel or stop treatment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman in perimenopause or menopause, live in or near Southern Maryland, and can pay out of pocket for visits and for any treatment your insurance will not cover. It is a weaker fit if you need Medicare coverage, or if you want a weight loss program with its price published up front.
