CWW Signature Care - beginning January 2027
Ongoing direct physician care for hormones, menopause/perimenopause,
& weight management
$220/month
+ $250 enrollment fee if not previously established here
Signature Care is designed for a higher touch level of direct physician care. It provides ongoing access to Dr. Ward for individualized hormone, menopause/perimenopause, weight management and metabolic health.
This model is particularly well-suited for patients who are starting or adjusting hormone therapy or GLP-1 based treatment, are actively working towards weight or metabolic health goals, desire more extensive labs with physician interpretation, or simply value having ongoing physician access as their treatment and symptoms evolve. This may also be ideal if your schedule does not allow for you to make it in often for office visits during regular business hours.
Rather than paying for each individual follow-up visit or waiting until your next appointment to address a treatment question, Signature Care provides continuity between visits and dedicated access to Dr. Ward throughout your care.
Your membership includes:
-
Initial health review and goals-setting with Dr. Ward
Schedule either in-person or virtual appointment directly with Dr. Ward for an initial consultation to review your health history and treatment goals
-
Virtual visits with Dr. Ward as often as needed
Schedule virtual follow-up appointments directly with Dr. Ward for hormone therapy, menopause/perimenopause concerns, weight management including GLP-1 treatment and related metabolic health needs without a separate charge for each visit.
-
Direct physician portal access
Send Dr. Ward relevant clinical questions through your secure patient portal whenever they arise rather than waiting until your next appointment. Messages are generally reviewed and answered during Dr. Ward's regular business hours. Portal access is not continuously monitored and does not provide immediate, after-hours, weekend or emergency care.
-
Ongoing hormone therapy management
Your care can evolve as your symptoms, health and treatment needs change. This includes medication adjustments, changes in dose or formulation, management of side effects, and help navigating medication availability or pharmacy shortages when an alternative treatment needs to be considered.
-
Comprehensive weight & GLP-1 management
For members using GLP-1 medications or pursuing medical weight management, care includes ongoing assessment of treatment response, medication adjustments when appropriate, side-effect management, plateaus, maintenance planning and strategies to support healthy, sustainable changes in body composition.
-
Nutrition, exercise & muscle-preservation guidance
Receive ongoing physician guidance regarding nutrient intake, cardiovascular exercise, resistance training, muscle preservation, sleep, supplements and other lifestyle factors relevant to hormone and metabolic health.
-
Extended laboratory review & physician interpretation
When clinically appropriate, Dr. Ward may recommend broader testing to investigate potential hormonal, metabolic, thyroid, nutritional, or other contributors to your symptoms. Membership includes physician review and interpretation of these results. Deeply discounted self-pay lab options are offered here for those who do not have or wish to use their insurance for this portion.
-
Professional body-composition monitoring
Membership includes access to professional InBody body-composition scans as often as needed to help monitor changes in skeletal muscle, body fat and other measures that may be more informative than weight alone.
-
In-office phlebotomy
When lab testing is ordered through CWW and can be collected in our office, members may have their blood drawn at CWW without the usual separate phlebotomy charge.
-
Discounted IV services
Signature Care members receive preferred pricing on eligible CWW IV services, including Myers' IVs, Immunity Blend IVs and iron infusions. IV therapy remains subject to medical eligibility, scheduling and supply availability.
What Signature Care does not replace
Signature Care is specialty care focused on hormone, menopause/perimenopause, weight and metabolic health. It is not primary care and does not replace in-person gynecologic care.
Annual/well-woman examinations, Pap/HPV screening, breast and pelvic examinations, evaluation of gynecologic concerns such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain or vulvar/vaginal symptoms, contraception, and gynecologic procedures remain available separately through Coastal Women's Wellness on a fee-for-service basis.
Your membership therefore allows us to spend our virtual time together focused on the areas requiring ongoing management, while preserving access to in-person gynecologic care when an examination or procedure is appropriate.
Commitment and longer-term maintenance
New patients and patients beginning a new hormone therapy or GLP-1 treatment plan have an initial minimum six-month enrollment period. Established patients already on therapy have a minimum 3 month enrollment. This is so that treatment can be initiated and followed through the period when closer monitoring and adjustment are most commonly needed.
Patients may cancel at any time thereafter with 30 days notice according to the membership terms. Once membership ends, direct physician portal access and member appointment availability also end. Limited fee-for-service follow-up remains available for established patients whose treatment is sufficiently stable to be appropriately managed at longer follow-up intervals. Patient may also transition maintenance care to their PCP if appropriate for that provider.
