Fees & Coverage
This clinic offers both:
private-pay consultations
MSP-covered group medical visits
A referral is required for all visits.
Private-Pay Consultations
Initial Consultation (Typically 60 mins) – $350/hour, pro-rated to length of appointment
Follow-Up Visits (Typically 30 mins) – $350/hour, pro-rated to length of appointment
Private visits are billed at a standard hourly rate, reflecting the extended time required for comprehensive assessment, education, and personalized treatment planning.
MSP-Covered Services
Eligible patients may participate in Group Education & Multifaceted Support (GEMS) sessions. These are MSP-covered group medical visits that provide structured education, self-management strategies, and multidisciplinary support.
Most patients will need to begin with a private consultation to determine readiness and eligibility for participation in an appropriate GEMS series.
Why Consultations Are Private-Pay
Private consultations are not covered by MSP because the type and length of visit required for comprehensive, education-focused, and whole-person care are not supported by existing MSP fee codes. Standard insured visits are designed for brief, focused issues and do not allow the extended time needed for thorough assessment, discussion, and planning (BC Ministry of Health & CIHI).
This model enables a different kind of care:
– Time to understand your full health history and context
– Space to explore root causes and interconnected systems
– Flexibility to address nutrition, lifestyle, and evidence-based strategies in detail
While not entirely MSP-covered, this approach makes it possible to create meaningful, sustainable change that standard appointment structures cannot support.
Accessibility & Equity
This clinic is committed to making evidence-based hormonal health care as accessible as possible. While private consultations are not covered by MSP, many patients transition into MSP-covered group education sessions (GEMS) after their initial visit. These sessions allow key information and support to be delivered to more women without financial barriers.
Reduced-rate consultations may be available for patients experiencing financial constraints. If cost is a barrier, please reach out—care should remain accessible to those who need it most.
