What is Althera Alternative Care?
Althera Alternative Care is a concierge medical wellness practice at 1100 San Mateo NE, Suite 4, Albuquerque, NM 87110. The phone number is (505) 322-2411. Its listed street address is in Albuquerque, and it also names Rio Rancho and Santa Fe as places it serves. Its main focus is concierge, longevity-driven primary care, with hormones, peptides and weight care built around it. Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 195 reviews. It describes its care as clinician-led, but it does not name the clinician who prescribes.
Of the four services you may be weighing, weight care lists GLP-1 support "when appropriate," with Semaglutide and Tirzepatide named, alongside labs, body composition tracking and nutrition planning. Hormone care covers men and women and may include pelleted hormone replacement. In its own words: "At Althera, peptide therapy is clinician-guided and personalized." Longevity is presented as the way its care is delivered, not a separate program. It also lists IV therapies, regenerative medicine, physical therapy, ED treatment, hair restoration and aesthetics.
What does it cost?
It publishes one price: a concierge membership from $110 a month, offered monthly, yearly or as a flat fee at the time of service. It does not say what membership covers or whether any price includes medication. The discovery visit is free and runs 15 minutes. Its hormone care is described as including the consultation, lab review, the procedure and follow-up in its pricing, but no figure is given. It does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone or peptide care. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether HSA or financing is available, or what cancellation or commitment terms apply to membership.
What should you ask before you book?
Start with the prescriber. Ask which clinician would write any prescription, what credentials that person holds, and whether you would see the same clinician at each visit. Ask whether the monthly membership fee includes medication. For GLP-1 or hormone prescriptions, ask whether the drug is brand-name or compounded, and who fills it. Ask what labs, follow-up visits and refills cost, and how often you would need them. Ask whether telehealth visits are offered, since that is not stated. Ask how to cancel a membership and whether there is a minimum commitment. Finally, ask when the practice opened. Its pages claim 30+ years of clinical practice, while its listed founding date is 2018.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want one clinician-led practice to handle primary care, hormones, weight care and longevity, you are prepared to pay out of pocket, and you want the prescriber, medication terms and cancellation rules in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need published prices for each service or need insurance to cover the visits.
