What's the difference between perimenopause and menopause?+
Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause, when hormone levels begin to fluctuate and symptoms often start, sometimes years before your periods stop. Menopause is the point when you've gone twelve months without a period. Dr. Luciano cares for women through every part of this journey, from the earliest changes through the years that follow.
How does payment work for menopause care?+
Sparrow is a traditional practice. If you're with Aetna, your visits are billed to your plan. For other plans, simple cash rates apply — $350 for your comprehensive consultation and $150 for follow-ups — with a detailed superbill provided upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and more major carriers on the way.
Is hormone therapy right for me?+
It depends on your symptoms, your health history, and your goals. Hormone therapy is one of several evidence-based tools Dr. Luciano may recommend, and she'll walk you through whether it's appropriate for you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Can I use my insurance?+
Yes. Sparrow is in-network with Aetna, so eligible visits, lab work, and imaging can be billed to your plan, with more major carriers on the way. HSA and FSA funds may be applied toward self-pay care, and Dr. Luciano contracts directly with Quest for self-pay lab pricing.
What areas do you serve?+
Sparrow offers dedicated perimenopause and menopause care from our office in Winter Garden, serving women across Horizon West, Windermere, Ocoee, and the greater Orlando area. Dr. Luciano is a member of The Menopause Society.
Do you prescribe hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?+
Yes. Dr. Luciano provides individualized hormone therapy where it's appropriate, as part of a complete menopause and midlife plan at our Winter Garden office. She'll review your symptoms, history, and goals to determine whether hormone therapy is right for you, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
Do you treat perimenopause, not just menopause?+
Yes. We care for women through the earliest perimenopausal changes, often years before periods stop, all the way through menopause and the years that follow.
Can I see a menopause specialist without insurance?+
Yes. Your menopause evaluation, hormone therapy, and follow-ups are available at transparent self-pay prices — $350 for your initial consultation and $150 for follow-ups — with a superbill provided upon request.
