Several risk factors can increase your chances of developing hypothyroidism. These risk factors include:
Gender — Women are more likely to develop hypothyroidism than men.
Family history — Your risk for developing hypothyroidism may be higher if you have a close family member who has been diagnosed with the condition.
Autoimmune disorders — Having an autoimmune disorder can increase your risk of developing hypothyroidism since autoimmune disorders can affect the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Radiation therapy — As mentioned, if you have undergone radiation therapy for cancer in the neck or head area, you may have a greater risk of developing hypothyroidism.
Certain medications — Some medications, such as lithium, can interfere with thyroid function and increase the risk of hypothyroidism.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism, make sure to speak with your primary care provider. They will need to run some tests to measure your thyroid hormone levels. If they determine you have a thyroid disorder, they will likely prescribe medication that will help you get your hormone levels under control, if medically appropriate. It’s always important to seek professional medical advice, so you can receive the proper treatment and manage your hypothyroidism under medical supervision.
Hashimoto's disease — Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This can lead to the underproduction of thyroid hormones, which causes hypothyroidism.
Thyroiditis — Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland, which can also lead to decreased thyroid hormone production and hypothyroidism.

How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
During your appointment, your provider will conduct a full evaluation of your symptoms and may perscribe medications or treatments as needed, which will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice the same day. If necessary, the provider may refer you out to a local lab for testing, or to a specialist.

General
If any in-person care is needed, such as bloodwork, vaccinations, or other testing, our providers are able to send the appropriate request to a nearby lab. Results will be integrated with our HIPAA-compliant mobile app so that patients have access to all of their medical records in one secure place.
To see our list of currently available states, begin booking an appointment.
You must be currently residing in the state of treatment as well as have your primary pharmacy be in that same state in order to be a patient at our practice.
The first intake appointment is 30 minutes. Follow-up appointments are 20 minutes each.
Billing
We provide a cost estimate when you are booking your appointment. For those with insurance, your actual cost is determined after we submit the insurance claim for your appointment. Once we submit the claim, insurance companies will pay for a portion of the appointment and pass on any remaining cost to you. Once we know what this cost is, we will update you with an invoice within the app.
For those with insurance, it typically takes 1-3 weeks for the insurance claim to be processed. Once processed, we’ll send you an invoice within the app with any remaining costs. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
For those without insurance (or with out of network insurance), we will send you the invoice 1-2 days after your appointment is completed. You can then opt to pay through the app, or we will automatically charge the payment card on file after 48 hours of sending you the invoice.
Insurance
We accept over 1,500+ insurance plans. We cover most of the major PPO insurance companies (payors) across the United States. The best way to confirm coverage of your insurance plan is to begin booking an appointment on our website or via our mobile app. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter your insurance information for a real-time verification of your insurance plan.
The best way to confirm your insurance plan coverage is to call the Member Services phone number on the back of your insurance card. If needed, you can reference our Tax ID#: 474883537 and our NPI: 1134596091. Once you are able to confirm your coverage and your primary care copay costs, you can use the in-app chat to message our team with the information. We’ll then follow up with confirmation.
Your per-appointment costs are set by your insurance plan. If the costs seem high, you may be on a high deductible health plan (HDHP). This means that you have an annual out-of-pocket amount that you must pay on healthcare in a given year before your insurance plan will cover more of your per-appointment costs.
If you are on an HDHP and have confirmed your insurance information in our mobile app, your remaining deductible for the year will be displayed on the “Book Appointment” page. Note that this amount may be outdated if you have had recent insurance claims processed.
