How Care Works

From a Tuesday-night message to a Wednesday-lunch refill.

Here's what a typical interaction looks like β€” start to finish β€” when you message us through the portal. New members usually find this useful to watch once.

Tuesday evening
01 / 06
Important: The symptom tracker is not monitored in real time. If you want a provider review, send a portal message after completing it. For urgent symptoms, use urgent care, the ER, or your primary care provider.

Communication

Use the right channel.

The right channel gets your message to the right person β€” and you get a faster response.

Clinical

Symptoms, meds, side effects

All clinical questions go through the secure portal β€” never email or text.

Prescriptions

Refills, done without delays.

Refills are processed based on your current plan and how you're doing. The fastest path is the tracker.

How to request

Best path: tracker first

Open your symptom tracker, fill it out, check the box that says you need a refill. We see how you're doing on your current plan and confirm the refill is still right for you β€” not just a default continuation.

  • Keep your preferred pharmacy updated in the portal
  • For dose adjustments, complete the tracker first so we have context
  • The refill request form is also available if you prefer
Open tracker β†’
Avoid delays

Common refill problems

  • Request at least 7 days before you run out
  • For pharmacy issues β€” high price, prior auth, backorder, out of stock β€” see the pharmacy page for the IF/THEN guide
  • If a pharmacy says they contacted us and didn't hear back, see the callout on the pharmacy page before messaging us

Testosterone

Starting or continuing testosterone.

Testosterone has its own requirements β€” for starting and continuing. Review the relevant page before messaging us so we can move forward without back-and-forth.

New to testosterone

Want to start?

Review the requirements and process for adding testosterone to your plan.

Labs

Labs, when they're actually needed.

Not everyone needs labs. If labs are part of your plan, your provider will outline exactly what to do.

Insurance option

Use your insurance

  • Take your lab requisition to an in-network lab
  • Upload results through the portal when complete
Coverage isn't guaranteed. Check your cost with the lab before having blood drawn β€” especially if you have a high-deductible plan. Lab fees are billed by the lab, not by us.
Cash-pay option

Flat-fee pricing

  • If available for your plan, you'll receive flat-fee pricing and instructions
  • Message us if you want to use the cash-pay pathway
Before labs: stop all biotin supplements for 72 hours. This includes Biotin, B7, Vitamin H β€” even hair/nail formulas.
Ready to move forward

Copy & send this in the portal

Paste this message into your Optimantra portal to start labs.

Pharmacy

Pharmacy issues & cost tips.

Pricing and stock both vary by pharmacy and day. We're not affiliated with any pharmacy and don't have visibility into stock from our end β€” but the pharmacy page walks you through what to do for cost, stock, backorders, and prior auths.

Start here

Pharmacy pricing & availability page

For any pharmacy issue β€” high price, out of stock, backorder, prior auth, or a proactive switch β€” start with the IF/THEN guide. It tells you exactly what to do and which path is fastest.

Open the pharmacy page β†’
Common snags

Recognize your situation

  • Quoted a high price you didn't expect
  • Pharmacy says "prior authorization"
  • Medication on backorder
  • Local pharmacies are out and you need a clinical alternative

Each of these has a clear path on the pharmacy page β€” refill form for routing-only requests, portal message when we need to discuss alternatives.

See full guide β†’
If the pharmacy says they contacted us and we haven't responded: ask the pharmacy for a copy of exactly what they sent β€” fax, ePrescribe screenshot, whatever they have on file β€” and upload it to the portal under Documents & Handouts. Pharmacies sometimes send to outdated numbers or the wrong recipient, and a copy lets us see exactly what happened so we can help right away.

Preventive Health

Preventive screenings save lives.

Regular screening catches health problems early, when they're most treatable. Your menopause care is only part of the picture β€” these matter too.

We can order

Overlaps with menopause care

  • Lipid panel β€” heart health
  • A1C / fasting glucose β€” blood sugar
  • Thyroid panel
  • DEXA scan β€” bone density, usually starting age 65

When you're ready, message us β€” we'll send the order.

Message your provider β†’
Talk to your PCP

Stay with primary care

  • Mammogram β€” starting age 40
  • Colon cancer screening β€” ages 45–75
  • Cervical cancer (Pap/HPV) β€” ages 30–65
  • BP, immunizations, mental health

Don't have a PCP? Worth finding one β€” message us if you want guidance.

Full screening guide β†’
Not sure what's due? Ask your PCP at your next visit, or message us β€” we'll talk through what's relevant for your age and history. Bring a list of past screenings and dates if you have one.

Education

Documents & handouts.

Your portal has educational handouts (including the research behind your recommendations), medication guides, and video instructions.

Find them

In your portal

  • Log in β†’ Documents & Handouts
  • Search: "patch," "progesterone," "bleeding," "testosterone," "vaginal estrogen"
  • New documents are added as your plan evolves

Upload

Sending us documents

  • Upload lab reports and medical records through the portal β€” not email or text
  • Pharmacy contact records (faxes, ePrescribe screenshots) also go here
  • Not sure where? Message us β€” we'll walk you through it

Common Questions

FAQ

No. Most questions are handled through portal messaging. We'll recommend a visit when it's the safest or most efficient option β€” you don't need to wait for one to get answers.
Yes, always. The tracker is how we walk into your visit already knowing your data β€” so we can spend our time together talking through what matters to you. Complete a tracker check-in before any follow-up visit.
Not usually. Adjustments are a normal and expected part of hormone care as your body changes. The best outcomes come from tracking and communicating consistently over time.
Varies by symptom and person. Some improvements happen in the first few weeks; others take longer. Most hormone changes take 4–6 weeks to show their full effect, and sleep can take 4–12 weeks.
In your portal handouts. We include evidence-based education because there are many misconceptions about perimenopause, menopause, and HRT β€” we want you informed.
Message your provider through the portal. The tracker isn't monitored in real time β€” so if you have a concern, a direct message is always the right move.
Start at the pharmacy pricing & availability page. It has IF/THEN guidance for high prices, out-of-stock, backorders, and prior auths β€” and tells you when to use the refill request form vs. when to message us. We don't have visibility into pharmacy stock, so confirming stock is always a phone call you'll need to make.
Email info@menopauselouisiana.com with your full name, date of birth, and what records you need. We respond to records requests within 10 business days.
Yes. Our providers hold Louisiana licenses, so you must be physically located in Louisiana during all telehealth visits and messaging interactions.
