About true. Women's Health

What is true. Women's Health?

true. Women's Health is a membership-based concierge medical practice at 2144 East Paris Avenue SE, Suite 230, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Its focus is women's health across midlife, menopause and beyond. Its listed services are primary care, weight optimization, weight loss medications, hormone optimization, gynecological care, sexual health and cancer survivorship. Visits can be virtual, and the practice says it will schedule a virtual provider visit after you complete intake.

The prescribers named are Dr. Diana Bitner, MD, MSCP, FACOG; Dr. Celia M. Egan, MD, MSCP, DABOM, listed as Director of Obesity Medicine & Metabolic Health; Tricia Mueller, DO, MSCP, DACLM, DABOM; Susanne Pettigrew, PA-C, MSCP; and Megan Mouser, NP. For weight loss, the practice names Wegovy, Qysimia, Contrave and Saxenda. It says it does not dispense medications directly. When a prescription is appropriate, it goes to your pharmacy. In its own words: "Drugs are not the easy way out." Its Google rating is 4.5 from 26 reviews.

What does it cost?

The weight management membership is $150 a month. The practice does not say whether medication is included in that price, and it does not say whether the weight loss medication itself is covered or what it costs. After the $150 membership fee, appointments are billed to insurance throughout the year, and the practice accepts insurance. The broader Complete Wellness membership is $300 a month and adds primary care and menopause support. A virtual version of the weight program is also offered. Its page calls it complimentary, then mentions a monthly investment without giving an amount. It does not publish a consultation fee, financing options or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $150 monthly fee includes any medication, and what each medication costs at your pharmacy with and without insurance. Ask whether the prescribed drug would be brand-name or compounded, and which prescriber would write it. The practice says it treats a BMI over 30, or a BMI above 27 with a condition such as high blood pressure or obstructive sleep apnea, so ask how that applies to you. Ask what the first hour-long consultation costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask how you cancel a membership and whether there is a fee. Ask which states the virtual visits cover, since the practice does not say. Ask what the monthly investment in the virtual program is, and how it fits with your OB/GYN care. That program calls itself an extension of OB/GYN care and says it does not replace routine OB/GYN visits. The practice lists no office hours, though it says you can reach the team by text day or night, so ask what to expect for same-day or urgent needs.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want women's health care from one practice, with weight management, hormone care and primary care under the same roof, and you are comfortable paying a monthly membership on top of insurance billing. It may suit you less well if you need every price and office hour published before you call.
