Insurance vs Results: What You’re Really Paying For

Insurance Co-Pays Can Add Up

Many insurance plans require co-pays for each visit, lab test, and medication refill. Over time, these costs can add up, making our predictable pricing model more cost-effective. Our membership-based approach includes ongoing care and adjustments, which could exceed standard co-pays if done through traditional insurance-covered providers.

Insurance typically covers synthetic hormones, which are not molecularly identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. These synthetic options have been linked to greater side effects and long-term health risks—including potential cancer concerns, as noted by the World Health Organization.

At Fem Excel, we specialize in bioidentical hormones that more closely match your body’s natural chemistry. They’re safer, better tolerated, and work with your body—not against it. Even if a traditional doctor does prescribe bioidentical hormones, the out-of-pocket cost is often comparable to our membership—without the added benefits of ongoing support and optimization.
Traditional doctors often only treat thyroid conditions when they reach a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. That means many women with borderline or subclinical symptoms—like fatigue, weight gain, or temperature dysregulation—are left untreated. At Fem Excel, we evaluate thyroid function as part of your overall hormone picture and may support it even when traditional labs would mark it as “normal.”

Most traditional providers are not specially trained in hormone therapy.
PCPs and even OB/GYNs often have limited training in functional or hormone-based care, meaning they may rely on outdated or oversimplified protocols. Our providers are trained specifically in hormone optimization for women—and it’s what they do every day.
Most insurance-covered doctors provide a single prescription and require multiple return visits for adjustments, increasing your costs over time. Our approach includes continuous 60-day support, ensuring that your treatment is optimized without the hassle of frequent office visits and additional co-pays.
Insurance companies prioritize bringing hormone levels to an “average” range, not necessarily what makes you feel your best. Our approach focuses on optimizing your hormones to help you achieve the best possible results—not just meeting a standard range.

Bottom Line

Even though we don’t take insurance, we provide a higher level of care, a more personalized approach, and bioidentical hormones that insurance rarely covers. Plus, our membership model often costs the same or less than what you might end up paying through insurance once all visits, lab tests, and medication costs are factored in.
