Menopause Specialists Who Accept Insurance in District of Columbia
31 practitioners have an office in District of Columbia, and 78 more can see patients here by telehealth. 72 of them are certified by the Menopause Society.
Tammie Blair sees patients through Midi Health, a virtual women's health clinic that works by video only. She focuses on the hormonal changes of perimenopause and menopause, and names weight shifts, poor sleep, mood changes and painful sex as the symptoms those changes drive. A first visit runs about 30 minutes and ends with a written care plan, and follow-ups are shorter check-ins you can book as often as you need. Midi's hormone options are FDA-approved patches, pills, gels, creams and sprays, and a plan can also include vaginal estrogen, non-hormone prescriptions and GLP-1 medication. There is no office to visit, so Midi refers out anything that needs an exam such as a mammogram and asks you to keep seeing your own regular doctors. Her own page on the site has a booking link that starts a new patient with her.
Capital Women's Care DC is a group OB-GYN practice near Foggy Bottom, and Dr. Bajaj is the managing partner of the Washington office. She spent nearly two decades doing both obstetrics and gynecology, then stopped obstetrics in 2022 to practice gynecology only, with perimenopause and menopause as her focus. She says she wants to close the knowledge gap around hormone replacement therapy, and she writes publicly about women's health on a site of her own. You book online or by phone, and appointments can be in person or by video. Alongside menopause care the office does in-office procedures and minimally invasive gyn surgery, so a woman who needs both can stay in one place. Worth knowing is that the practice says an annual well-woman visit with the doctor of your choice usually takes one to three months to get.
Clare Heintzelman is a nurse practitioner at Bloom OB/GYN, a busy gynecology and obstetrics group in upper Northwest DC, and she handles menopause and midlife care there. Before becoming an NP she spent about six years as a labor and delivery nurse at Sibley Memorial Hospital. The practice treats menopause symptoms with hormone therapy or with non-hormonal medicines for women who can't or would rather not take hormones, and it also watches bone density. Visits are billed to insurance. New patients start with an office visit, and after that routine follow-ups, lab reviews and prescription changes can happen by video. Patient reviews single her out for being patient and unhurried with questions.
