How virtual care works

You book a free 15-minute call with our patient care coordinator, who confirms your insurance and matches you to a provider. Your first visit is a scheduled video appointment from your phone or computer. Your provider takes a full history, orders labs when needed, and sends a written plan to your patient portal the same day.

Labs are drawn at a site near you. Prescriptions go to your local pharmacy. Follow-ups are scheduled by video, and results are reviewed with you, not just posted.

What can be treated virtually

Perimenopause and menopause, including hormone therapy and non-hormonal options. Menstrual and hormonal conditions such as PCOS, irregular cycles and heavy bleeding. Metabolic health and medically supervised weight management. Lactation concerns, including those that need medication. Postpartum recovery. Contraception and preventive counseling. Skin conditions that can be assessed by photo and video.

What needs an in-person visit

Pelvic floor therapy, pelvic examinations, IUD and implant placement, injections, and any concern that requires a physical examination, imaging or a procedure. These are done in Carolina Beach or arranged with a partner practice near you. Your virtual provider stays involved either way.

Insurance

Virtual visits may be covered by your plan. We accept select insurance plans and verify your benefits before the visit. Self-pay pricing is published on our Insurance & Pricing page.

Requirements

You must be physically in North Carolina at the time of the visit. A phone or computer with a camera. Photo ID and insurance card at the first visit.

Common questions

Is a virtual visit as good as an in-person visit?

For many concerns, virtual care can be an effective option. Hormonal, metabolic and menopause care often relies heavily on history, labs, medication management and follow-up. When an examination or procedure is needed, we’ll arrange in-person care.

Can you order labs and imaging?

Yes. Labs are ordered to a draw site near you. Imaging is ordered to a facility near you, and results come back to us.

Can you prescribe hormone therapy virtually?

Yes, when it is appropriate after history and labs. Controlled substances have additional federal and state rules and may require an in-person visit.

I live outside North Carolina. Can I be seen?

Not yet. Our providers are licensed in North Carolina. Use the Request Care link at the top of the page to join our list and we will notify you when your state opens.
