Welcome to Northern California Wellness! Not all bioidentical hormone therapies are created equal. At Northern California Wellness we strive for effective and clear communication for your hormone treatment plan.

Office Policies

Financial Policy

Northern California Wellness does not accept insurance or bill insurance on your behalf. All payments for services are due at the time of service.

For recurring membership fees, it is your responsibility to update your card on file as needed to avoid any interruptions in your treatment.

We will charge your card on file at the time lab orders are submitted. Please notify us if you choose to have labs go through your insurance. Most, but not all, PPO insurance will cover some portion of your labs but you may still have a significant co-pay. If you are 65 or older, the labs we order will not be covered by your insurance.

It is also your responsibility to notify us in writing if you decide to discontinue services at any point. We are not able to refund quarterly fees once they have been processed.

Medicare opt-out

Northern California Wellness has not been excluded from participation in Medicare but has chosen to opt-out of Medicare. This agreement is not intended to circumvent your right or need to obtain a provider who accepts Medicare. You may not submit or ask Northern California Wellness to submit a claim to Medicare or MediCal for labs or services.

Prescription Refill Requests

Please request your refills from your pharmacy. Your pharmacy will contact us if refill authorization is needed. If you require a change to your prescription, please call our office and allow 24 business hours for the request to be completed.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that occasionally an appointment needs to be canceled or rescheduled and we will do our best to assist you with this. However, all appointments canceled or changed within 24 hours of your scheduled time are subject to a $50 cancellation fee.

I have read and understand the fee structures and office policies and agree to these items.
