About Ione Medical

What is Ione Medical?

Ione Medical is a membership-based medical practice at 404 Brunn School Rd Unit C in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its homepage describes it as a full service medical practice focused on menopause management, medical weight loss, and concierge primary care. The one prescriber named is Rebecca Fredman, AGNP-C, CNP, and her page also lists her as a North American Menopause Society Certified Practitioner.

For hormone care, the practice offers hormone replacement therapy, bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, and perimenopause care. For weight loss, it offers medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications, paired with nutrition counseling and lifestyle coaching. It also lists concierge primary care, anxiety and depression medication management, annual and well-woman exams, medical cannabis cards, and hair and skin services such as Alma TED hair restoration, Xtresse hair growth, and Alma Universkin. On Google it has a 4.9 rating from 22 reviews.

What does it cost?

The only published price is the first visit: a one hour initial consultation for $170 plus tax. Ione does not take insurance, so every visit is paid out of pocket. In its own words: "Please note, we do not accept insurance, allowing us the freedom to offer a truly customized healthcare experience."

Membership is the other route. The practice says members receive preferred pricing on GLP-1 medications and bioidentical hormone pellets, but it does not publish membership tiers or fees. It does not publish prices for weight loss or hormone therapy, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. It does not mention HSA payment, financing, a membership commitment, or how to cancel.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. Rebecca Fredman is the only prescriber named, so ask whether she writes every weight loss and hormone prescription, and who covers when she is away.

Next, ask whether the membership fee includes the medication or whether drugs are billed on top. Ask which GLP-1 medication is used, since none is named, and whether it is a brand-name product or compounded. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, because the practice does not price either one.

Finally, ask whether telehealth or virtual visits are available, what the office hours are, how long the practice has operated, and what the membership terms and cancellation policy are.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Santa Fe or can travel there, you are ready to pay cash with no insurance billing, and you want one named nurse practitioner for menopause or hormone care, medical weight loss, or concierge primary care. If you need a price for every step before you commit, call (505) 699-4187 first and ask for those numbers in writing.
