		<description>BioBalance Health does not yet have a branch I&#039;m Alabama, however you can view our &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.biobalancehealth.com/faq/bioidenticalpellet-price-list/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;pricing structure on the BioBalance Health website&lt;/a&gt;. We have patients fly in from all over the world. 

The fact that insurance does not reimburse for this service is unfortunate but true. I have patients get their initial lab panel covered through their insurance. If your deductible is paid you will generally have the lab covered. 

Women generally require 2-4 pellets every 3-5 months. The cost of the treatment is no more that a Starbucks coffee every day. 

I believe that our treatment is far superior to gels and creams. It is a bargain compared to poor health costs and lost productivity.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been suffering from menopause for 1 1/2 yrs and am trying to find a physician in Birmingham, AL that doesn&#039;t charge so much of a up front fees for hormone pellets! Each Dr. wants at least $600.00 to $800.00 up front for first visit, testing and etc.? I called the insurance company and they said it was not covered and the office doesn&#039;t file or even accept insurance. I have been on the hormone replacement creams with usually good luck in beginning and as time goes on they quit working? I need some type of help finding a solution to this problem.
                                        
Thank you</description>

		<description>Blood clots are a common side effect of oral estrogens, and a less common side effect for pellet estradiol.

When I have a patient who has had a blood clot, I order a blood panel specific for clotting risk to determine If the blood clot was an &quot;accident&quot; that would have happened to anyone, whether they took estrogen or not, OR if the patient has a genetic disorder that puts her at risk for blood clots. If the patient has a genetic disorder, I would generally avoid estradiol  in any form. The good news is that at Biobalance Heath,  we also use testosterone pellets which provide relief of many of the symptoms that deprivation of estrogen causes. 

Testosterone does not cause blood clots.</description>

		<description>I am interested in the pellet form of delivering estrogen to the body, however, I have a problem as I&#039;ve been told by my OB GYN that I should never again take estrogen as I had experienced schemic colities which is a blood clot to the colon which was probably caused by yeas of taking premarin - is there a risk of blood clots with bioidentical hormones, in particular, the pellet delivery of hormones?

Thank you for answering my question.</description>

		<description>Rhonda, I cannot tell you how much reading your testimony fills my heart. I know personally some of the pain you went through, but certainly every woman comes to this turning point via a different path.  I am hoping you have reached your sisters in menopause with your good news and they will follow your lead!  Thank you for sharing your story!

		<description>I have been receiving subcutaneous bio-identical hormone replacement therapy from Dr. Maupin for a year.  It has been no less than a miracle!  After chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, I was literally thrown into menopause hell.  The results of this were incomprehensible!  Hot flashes that I could time like labor pains, night sweats, loss of libido, bone and muscle pain (Fibromyalgia diagnosis) requiring prescription pain medication, 8-10lbs of fluid retention, excessive weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights and ultimately loss of desire to get out of bed in the morning and fear of going to bed at night.

A dear friend recommended I visit Bio-Balance.  Within a few days days after receiving my first pellet placement my hot flashes and night sweats were GONE.  Within a few weeks, I had lost 14 lbs (mostly fluid), and my &quot;Fibromyalgia&quot; disappeared as though it were just a bad dream.  My libido has improved exponentially ;) and my outlook on life has taken a 180 degree turn.

This therapy was PERFECT for ME and I&#039;m quite certain that each Bio-Balance patient receives a treatment designed for her/his unique needs. Thank goodness for Dr. Maupin and her staff! Caring, sensitive, sensible and driven to providing the best patient care.  I will continue to use this form of therapy and I recommend that everyone experiencing the &quot;pains&quot; of diminishing hormones CHECK THIS OUT!</description>
