What Is BioID?

BioIdentical hormone replacement is a safe, natural approach to addressing many medical concerns that may be affecting your overall health.

Hormones are the master controls of the body. Proper hormone balance is the key to true anti-aging medicine. When the hormone balance is ideal, all of the organs of the body can function optimally.

Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels are important for both women AND men. As the aging process occurs, the productions of these hormones decrease, causing not only sexual dysfunction but also can be related to processes such as insulin resistance (diabetes), weight gain, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, insomnia, depression, anxiety, irritability, cognitive decline/dementia, cardiovascular disease, cancer, thyroid disease, cataracts, osteoporosis, muscle loss, hair loss, and so much more.

Restoring proper hormone balance is the best way to slow the aging process and maintain the health of all of the systems of the body.

Do hormones cause cancer?
Research has shown that there is no increase in the incidence of breast or other female or male cancers when using BIOIDENTICAL hormones.
Synthetic hormones, however, have been linked to an increase in breast cancer. Contraceptives such as birth control have also been linked to an increase in the incidence of breast cancer.
At BioID, we use only naturally compounded, 100% bioidentical hormones. We strive to educate our patients not only about hormone balance and replacement, but also about nutrition and an all-around healthy lifestyle.

What are pellets?
Pellets are medically compounded bioidentical hormones that come in a pellet form. The pellets are administered by one of our nurse practitioners using a local anesthetic to numb the area and a small instrument to insert them under the skin. The pellet is placed under the skin where it will dissolve in a time released fashion. A small steri strip will cover the puncture after the administration of the pellets and will heal within a week or so.
How are the pellets administered?
Pellets are placed beneath the skin in the buttock/hip area by creating a small incision in the skin and using a stainless steel instrument to place the pellets in the desired location. The pellets are extended-release. That means they don’t administer the full dose of hormones all at once. Instead, the hormones will gradually travel into your bloodstream over time. You may feel a small bump under the skin for about a week after pellet placement.
Does insurance cover any of the cost for pellet therapy?
Unfortunately, insurance companies do not cover the cost for any bio-identical pellet therapy. However, some insurance companies may help cover the cost of the office visits/consults or bloodwork that BioID clinic will perform. Our office does not directly bill insurance but upon request, we can provide you with a form and codes to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. There is never any guarantee for payment. BioID does require full payment at or before the time of service.
