Our approach combines evidence-based medicine with individualized care to support long-term health and overall wellness.
Who is HRMN Health for?
Our programs are designed for adults experiencing symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, such as fatigue, weight changes, low libido, mood swings, thyroid dysfunction, menopause symptoms, or metabolic concerns. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s unique health profile, ensuring care that is personalized and clinically appropriate.

How long are appointments, and will they be worth my money?
We dedicate one hour for new female patients and 45 minutes for new male patients. Follow-up visits are 30 minutes. This allows providers to address multiple concerns in a single visit and dive deeper into underlying issues.
Insurance and Payments
Do you take insurance?

Superbills are not available for Medicaid, Medicare, or Tricare, and reimbursement is not guaranteed. We also accept HSA/FSA payments and offer Cherry Financing for eligible patients.

Can I be a patient if I live outside of Idaho?
We are working to open up additional state licensing, but at this time, you must physically be in the state of Idaho for your appointment. You can have an out-of-state address, but you would need to travel to Idaho for your visit. We are actively expanding licensing to additional states for future remote care.
