About Hormones By Design -San Antonio

What is Hormones By Design, San Antonio?

Hormones By Design is a hormone and thyroid practice with offices in San Antonio, Austin, Boerne, New Braunfels and Waco. Its main services are Hormone Therapy (BHRT) and Thyroid Balancing. The people who prescribe at the San Antonio office, as the clinic lists them, are Kimberly McCollum, WHNP; Julie Murphy, WHNP; Claire Heirman, FNP; and Maricela "Marcie" Mazuca, PA.

The clinic also offers Lab Tests and Digital Thermography. It says it runs its own lab. Weight loss is not on the services list, but its blog describes a medical weight loss program that uses GLP-1 medications, and it names Compounded Tirzepatide and Semaglutide. Telehealth is available alongside in-person visits, and the clinic is accepting new patients across San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.8 rating from 177 reviews.

This listing is for its San Antonio office at 21218 Market Ridge #101.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no monthly or per-visit figure, and no statement on whether medication is included in any price. It does not say whether it accepts insurance.

Patients can join Hormones Direct Membership, which the clinic calls "Our convenient membership option," or use Pay-As-You-Go, described as a "non membership option where you pay as you go." No membership terms or cancellation rules are shown.

The clinic makes a claim about lab costs. In its own words: "Because we operate our own lab, we’re able to provide advanced hormone testing at significantly lower costs than traditional routes." It gives no dollar figures, so ask for them before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which prescriber will write your prescription and who reviews your blood work between visits. Ask whether the membership fee or pay-as-you-go price includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed separately.

For the GLP-1 medications, ask whether the compounded tirzepatide or semaglutide is a compounded product, and whether a brand-name version is an option for you. Ask what follow-up visits and lab draws cost, and what the lower lab pricing comes to in dollars.

Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance, and whether it will give you billing information if you want to file your own claim. Ask how a membership is cancelled and how much notice is required. If you are considering the Austin, Boerne, New Braunfels or Waco office, ask which services that office offers, because the offices list different services.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want hormone or thyroid care in person or by telehealth, you are ready to pay directly, and you can get the prices and cancellation terms in writing before your first visit. If weight loss medication is the main reason you are calling, ask about its monthly cost first.
