Absolutely. Birth control is a valid, effective option and can be part of your Kyndred care plan - especially for cycle control, pain, or acne. It won’t be treated as a fix‑all: we’ll still optimize your whole health (skin, mood, metabolism, gut, sleep, stress) and work toward your goals, now and for the future.

Kyndred visits are self-pay. However, many patients may be able to use insurance for in-person lab testing completed through partner labs, depending on their plan and the tests ordered.

For WTF Visits:

The visit itself is cash-pay with sliding scale pricing, and HSA/FSA are accepted. We provide superbills for potential reimbursement. Your Healthcare Homegirl will work to route labs and imaging through your insurance when possible.

Cash-pay often costs less than insurance copays and deductibles – plus you get immediate access without referrals, pre-authorizations, or an insurance company deciding which tests you "need." To learn more about why we chose this model, visit this page.
