What can I expect during a virtual consultation?
During a virtual consultation with our pediatric endocrinologist, you can expect a caring and personalized experience for your child. We’ll start by talking about your child’s health history, growth, and any concerns you have. Your doctor will review recent test results and go over any symptoms or medications your child is taking. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help your child manage their hormone condition. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and get clear advice. Our goal is to provide expert care and support, all from the comfort of your home.
Why does EndoMD not take insurance?
In the traditional insurance system, doctors spend a significant amount of time doing administrative tasks so they can get reimbursed by insurance. By eliminating the insurance intermediary, your pediatric endocrinologist can take more time to focus on your child. Your plan does not have to be dictated by an insurance company but what is best for your child.
You will still use your insurance for medications, labs and x-rays.
Why do I need to sign up for a monthly membership if my child only needs a prescription?
Our goal is to provide your child holistic hormone care that goes beyond prescriptions. We know that your child is more than just a diagnosis, and that their nutrition, sleep, exercise, emotional and mental health affects their hormones immensely.
When we treat your child holistically, they will see long-lasting health benefits that goes beyond just treating hormone numbers with prescriptions.
You will still use your insurance for medications, labs and x-rays.
