| What types of medical services do you provide? | ||
| The Menopause Center provides the following types of medical services. | ||
 |
Routine gynecology care (annual exams, vaginal infections, pelvic pain) |
|
|
Menopause consultations for perimenopause and menopause. |
|
|
Dr. Ledbetter does not deliver babies or perform surgeries anymore. |
|
|
Dr. Ledbetter is a specialist and does not do primary care. So, she will not be your “only doctor”. If you want your gynecologist to be the only doctor you see, you should look for someone else. We believe you should have a Family Physician or Internist for your general medical care. |
|
| Are you currently accepting new patients? |
||
Yes, but we have limited our new patients because our practice is nearly full. We are seeing new patients for “annual exams” (pap smears) and some menopause consults. |
||
| Do you take insurance? |
||
We participate in many of the common insurance plans, and the list occasionally changes. |
||
We do not participate in any Medicare or Medicare-related insurance plans such as Secure horizons or Providence Medicare extra. |
||
We do not accept any Oregon Health Plan, Medicaid, TriCare or Worker’s Compensation patients. |
||
| What if you don't accept my insurance, or I don’t have any? |
||
If we don’t appear to be on your insurance, call your customer service representative located on your insurance card and ask them what kind of coverage they provide for out-of-plan providers. We still encourage you to come see us, and we are willing to make payment arrangements with you. |
||
| What is included in a menopause consultation? | ||
| Our menopause consultations consist of a comprehensive medical history evaluation, including: | ||
|
Your personal and family medical history |
|
|
An appropriate physical exam, if needed |
|
|
A discussion of your previous treatments |
|
|
Your health goals |
|
After the consultation, we develop a basic treatment plan, which often requires a few follow-up visits to complete treatment. |
