No problem! I offer sexual health coaching where we’ll address how to help you have better sex and eliminate pelvic pain. You’ll learn how to advocate for yourself at your in-state healthcare provider’s office visits.

If warranted I may prescribe appropriate FDA medications that can be sent to your local commercial pharmacy. Because women’s sexual health is often ignored by the traditional medical community, I may use science-backed medications that are not FDA approved, that need to be specifically made for you- which means I’ll send them to a reputable compounding pharmacy.

Email kathy@pelvichealthsupport.com in a timely manner when refills are necessary- ideally 14 days before your medication is due to be refilled. I’ll do refills during regular office hours. If you find yourself out of medication after hours, please email me the next day. No prescriptions will be refilled on holidays and weekends.

That is a GREAT question. Each patient is unique and we’ll determine at your initial telehealth visit which program is right for you.

I cannot serve as your primary care provider (PCP). For telehealth visits, I don’t do pelvic exams. If a pelvic exam is needed, I may need to see you in person in Boston or refer you to a reputable provider in your area.

No. However, I will send you a super-bill that you can submit to your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits. To make things easier, you can submit your claims directly to Reimbursify, one screenshot of your superbill, and Reimbursify takes care of the rest. You can also try to use your HSA/FSA.
