What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. It does not publish a consultation fee, a cost for hormone therapy, or a cost for testing. It does not say whether medication is included in any fee. Reviewers mention a monthly subscription, but the clinic does not publish its fee or its terms.

The clinic takes insurance, and it asks patients to call first: "Now taking insurance, please call to learn if we are signed up for your insurance." It does not say which insurers it accepts.

Home visits cover patients within a 15-mile radius, and longer trips are often available for an increased fee. Telemedicine sick visits are offered to established patients. It does not publish cancellation or commitment terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which insurers the clinic is signed up with, since it does not list them. Ask what the monthly subscription costs, what it covers, and whether it is billed alongside insurance.

If you are considering hormone therapy, ask whether the fee includes the hormones, the saliva, blood and urine testing, and the retesting every 3-6 months. Ask whether the hormones are brand-name or compounded.

If you are considering weight management, ask which medications are used and whether the care is medically supervised. Ask whether Angela St John, FNP-BC, writes those prescriptions.

Ask what lab work and follow-up visits cost for diabetes care or physicals. Ask what cancelling involves and whether there is a minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family nurse practitioner in Columbia Falls for primary care, physicals, diabetes care or bioidentical hormone replacement, and you are comfortable calling for prices before you book.
