About Liv HRT

What is Liv HRT?

Liv HRT is a medical practice at 4107 Medical Pkwy, Suite 208, Austin, TX 78756. Its main focus is perimenopause and menopause care for women. It offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, testosterone replacement therapy for women, thyroid support, and medical weight loss with GLP-1 medicines. The weight loss program names semaglutide and tirzepatide and also uses low-dose naltrexone (LDN).

Kristen Bernal is the nurse practitioner and lead clinical provider. She holds Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) status, is an Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner, and is a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. In-person visits are in Austin, and telehealth serves patients across Texas. The practice lists LegitScript Certified Telehealth Provider status and is rated 5 on Google from 32 reviews. In its own words: "We only use bioidentical hormones."

What does it cost?

Self-pay visits are $175 for an initial visit and $150 for a follow-up. HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Hormone lab panels cost $115, $142, or $244, depending on which panel you choose.

Weight loss is a monthly membership that covers the medication, visits, and labs. Semaglutide runs $178 to $259 a month. Tirzepatide is $197 to $475 a month, and a second figure puts standard doses at $197 to $350, with higher doses up to $550. Ask which figure applies to the dose you would start on.

The practice is in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Oscar, and Curative for consultations and follow-ups, subject to your deductible, copay, and coinsurance. It does not say which plans cover weight loss visits. It does not publish cancellation or commitment terms for the membership.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescriptions and who handles follow-up care. Kristen Bernal is the only prescriber named, so ask whether any other clinician would write your prescriptions.

Ask whether the monthly weight loss price covers the medication at your dose, and what a higher dose would cost. The figures for tirzepatide differ, so get the number in writing.

Ask whether the GLP-1 medicines are compounded or brand-name, and which pharmacy fills them. The practice describes its GLP-1 medicines as compounded.

For hormone care, ask whether the hormones you would receive are FDA-approved or compounded, since both are offered. Ask what follow-up lab work costs, because no fee for that is stated.

Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum number of months. The practice describes its weight loss program as cash-based, so ask whether any weight loss visit can be billed to insurance.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman looking for perimenopause or menopause hormone care, or if you want GLP-1 weight loss and are ready to pay cash for medication and visits. It also suits you if you want care by video from anywhere in Texas. If insurance coverage for weight loss visits matters to your decision, get that answer in writing before you book.
