What to expect from the menopause consultation?

The appointment is 90 minutes. You will fill out an extensive questionnaire prior to the appointment. We will review it together. We will discuss the hormonal, non-hormonal and supplement options along with lifestyle advice. Together with shared decision making we will come to a solution that is individualized for you and get you started.

We recommend a 3 month follow up since that is the sweet spot to know how to adjust medications.

What about labs or medications?

The majority of medications I prescribed are the FDA approved bioidentical medications and go through to your insurance. I will always discuss options as we decide a treatment option. Insurance is what determines your cost for medication. I do know of options for cash pay.

Does Zephyr Health accept insurance?

No, Payment is expected at the appointment You can use an HSA or FSA or Carrot cards.

If you don’t take insurance, then why do you want my insurance information?

While we do not utilize your insurance for billing, it is helpful to have your insurance on file. We send this information to the lab or with referrals as needed. We can also assist with prior authorizations when needed for medications or procedures. If you don’t have insurance, then we can help find affordable testing and medications.

Do you only see women?

We are proud to see all adults under the rainbow. We want to serve as a safe medical home to support our patients regardless of their gender.

Why would I want a menopause specialist?

Menopause impacts every system in the body and is often complex to navigate. Dr. Gelderman found that the best approach to tailor care for her patients is engaging in deep conversations about symptoms and treatment options. We follow the guidelines of the North American Menopause Society. As a certified practitioner, Dr. Gelderman is deeply knowledgeable about both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options.

Why do I need treatment for low desire?

Desire is important! Reasons for low desire can be complicated. As a member of ISSWSH, we follow a thoughtful evaluation and stepwise approach that is evidence based.

Do you treat perimenopause?

Yes! Perimenopause is that time before we meet the menopause mark but we have symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats and dryness. There are many other symptoms as well. We want to start treatment in the perimenopause time. Treatment should be individualized and there are many treatment options.
