Frequently Asked Questions

Is lifecycle women's health a safe place?

Lifecycle Women's Health practice aims to create an inclusive and welcoming place for everybody and every body who has needs related to the menopause transition, menstrual cycle difficulties, and sexual health concerns.

Do you take insurance? 

Lifecycle Women's Health accepts insurance. Currently, I am enrolled with Maine Care, Aetna, Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, United, Community Health Options, and Cigna. If people have policies with large, known deductibles, payment will be collected at the time of the visit.
Self-Pay is accepted as well.

All clients who use commercial insurance will be required to keep a credit card on file to pay deductibles and copays that are not covered by insurance.

How long is an appointment? 

Initial Visit & Annual Exams...1 Hour
Re-Evaluations...30 -60 Minutes
I always schedule one-hour appointments. There are times when you will need more time than that and other times you will need or want less, and we can schedule that accordingly.

Is the building easy to Navigate?

Yes, the office is on the first floor and is wheelchair accessible.

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is plenty of free parking.

Do you only take care of Women?

I was trained as a women’s health nurse practitioner and a certified nurse-midwife. Taking care of people who identify as female, as well as people who were assigned female at birth is within my scope of practice.

ARE YOU A PRIMARY CARE Provider?

I am a certified nurse-midwife with a focus on the health care of people who identify as female as well as those who were assigned female at birth during midlife and beyond for issues related to the menopause transition, menstrual cycle difficulties, and sexual health concerns. I am not considered a Primary Care Provider and do not offer urgent or emergent services.

do you provide midwifery care to Pregnant people?

I do not take care of people during pregnancy, but truly support the midwifery model of care for people during all phases of life, and have great referrals for the childbearing year if you need it!

Can I bring a support person to my appointment?

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to bring a support person with you. Also, I do not provide chaperones so some people may be more comfortable with a support person.
