02How the program works
Confidential Intake
Complete a thoughtful intake form online — covering symptoms, history, and what you are hoping to address. Our team reviews within one business day.
Lab Work if Needed
Hormones (FSH, estradiol), thyroid, and metabolic panels may be ordered to inform your plan — but for most menopausal women, the diagnosis is clinical.
Specialist Consultation
A virtual visit with your DOS physician to discuss your symptoms in depth, review options, and design a plan that fits your life.
Prescription & Plan Start
If indicated, prescriptions are sent directly to your pharmacy. Plans are individualised — one size does not fit all.
Ongoing Adjustment & Review
HRT often needs fine-tuning over the first few months. Regular virtual check-ins to optimise dose, address side effects, and keep you well.
03What's included
04Coverage & what's billed
What's covered: physician consultations, requisitioned lab work, Registered Dietitian services, prescriptions written by your DOS physician, and follow-up visits during the program.
What may be patient-pay: certain medications (depending on private insurance), devices, supplements, and any out-of-program services you elect. Your DOS physician will discuss any patient-pay item with you before prescribing — nothing is added to your file without consent.
05Your pharmacy
Your preferred Metro pharmacy can assist with prescription fulfillment, medication availability, general pharmacy-related questions and product inventory inquiries. Clinical assessments, diagnoses, prescribing decisions and treatment plan modifications remain the responsibility of your physician.
