Why I Don’t Take Insurance — And What That Means for You
If you've ever waited months for an appointment, felt rushed through your visit, or left the doctor’s office with more questions than answers — you’re not alone.
At Empower Women’s Health, I’ve chosen to step outside the traditional insurance-based system to offer something better: personalized, accessible, and transparent care for women like you.
Let me explain why I made this choice — and how it benefits you.
The Problem with Insurance-Based Healthcare
Most healthcare providers today are caught in a system that prioritizes billing codes over human connection. When insurance companies are involved, providers are often forced to:
See more patients in less time
Spend hours on documentation and approvals
Limit care to what’s “covered,” not what’s best
As a result, patients experience:
Short, impersonal visits
Delays in care
Confusing bills and surprise charges
That’s not the kind of care I believe women deserve.
What I Offer Instead
By not taking insurance, I’m able to offer:
Longer, unrushed appointments where you feel truly heard
Direct access to me via secure messaging between visits
Personalized treatment plans that go beyond cookie-cutter care
Transparent, upfront pricing with no surprise bills
Freedom to focus on what’s best for your health — not what’s reimbursable
You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for, and you’ll get the time and attention your health deserves.
Can You Use HSA/FSA or Submit for Reimbursement?
Yes! While I don’t bill insurance directly, many patients choose to:
Pay using HSA or FSA funds
Submit a “superbill” to their insurance for out-of-network reimbursement
I’m happy to provide the documentation you need for this process.
Why This Model Works — Especially for Women
Too often, women’s health concerns are dismissed, minimized, or overlooked in traditional settings. My model allows me to:
Take the time to get to the root of your symptoms
Support your wellness through every stage: contraception, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond
Build real, ongoing relationships with my patients
In short — I’m not just checking boxes. I’m here to support your long-term health goals.
