A lot of women are surprised when they hear perimenopause and menopause care can often be done right through your primary care provider and covered by insurance.

You do not always need hormone clinics, supplement packages, or multiple appointments at different offices just to get answers.

At VirtualMed Iowa, Rachel Frederick, PA-C is Menopause Society Certified… which means specialized, evidence-based menopause training! Care is personalized to you, your symptoms, and your goals.

We commonly help with:
• hot flashes
• sleep changes
• weight changes
• low energy
• brain fog
• mood changes
• cycle changes
• vaginal dryness/discomfort
• hormone questions and more

We are currently in-network with:
BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Midlands Choice, Molina, Hawki, Iowa Total Care, and HealthPartners.

And if you are not local to Ames… many menopause and perimenopause visits can also be done through telehealth anywhere in Iowa.

Healthcare should not feel confusing or impossible to navigate. We try to make this process simple, personal, and helpful.

Schedule online or call us at 515-520-8365.

We are excited to finally welcome Molina families to VirtualMed Iowa ❤️

“Are you guys virtual or in-person?”

The answer is both 😊

VirtualMed Iowa is now mostly an in-person primary care clinic here in Ames, but we still offer telehealth appointments daily for certain visit types.

Things like first menopause consults, medication follow-ups, some sick visits, and simple concerns can often be done virtually from home.

Other appointments are best done in-person so we can examine you, run testing, or provide more hands-on care.

If you’ve been looking for a more modern and personal primary care experience... we are currently accepting new patients.

You can schedule online anytime or give us a call with questions. We would love to care for you and your family! 💜

ONSITE LABS are now available at VirtualMed Iowa!

You asked... we listened.

This has been one of the BIGGEST requests from both current and future patients, and we are excited to finally say… it’s here.

What this means for our patients:
• faster lab results
• fewer appointments needed
• and a smoother experience for busy families

We are able to perform many of the common labs you would expect from a primary care clinic including wellness labs, sick visit labs, hormone-related labs, pediatric labs, and more.

Yes… this includes kids!

Labs can be completed during your regular appointment or scheduled separately depending on appointment type and our availability.

This is a HUGE step forward for our clinic and patient experience, and we are really excited to finally offer it!

If you’ve been waiting to establish care with VirtualMed Iowa until we expanded services a bit more… this may be your sign 😊

A conversation we see happening often in our clinic…

A woman comes in with symptoms she’s been trying to figure out for months… sometimes years.

She’s already been to multiple places.

One clinic helped with hormones…
Another handled a sick visit…
Another ordered labs…
Another talked about mental health…

But no one was really looking at the full picture. And she’s tired.

Tired of hopping from clinic to clinic.
Tired of retelling her story.
Tired of paying for multiple visits and still not having answers.

Women’s healthcare shouldn’t feel like that.

You shouldn’t have to search in back alleys of the healthcare system to piece together the care you need.

That’s part of why we built VirtualMed Iowa the way we did.

A place where women can come for:

• Perimenopause and menopause care
• Hormone therapy when appropriate
• Annual exams and Pap smears
• Mental health conversations
• Regular primary care and sick visits

All in one place. Not ten clinics with ten different opinions.

Just a relationship with a provider who actually sees the whole picture of your health.

Women deserve a primary care clinic that understands that hormones, mental health, preventative care, and everyday illness are all connected.

We’re still building at VirtualMed Iowa… But this is the kind of care we believe women deserve.
