1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Give a duple ZL and Firemak has done the U

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: turn on the estrogen petches. So it's going to fund

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: the old petchestra dot and the new one, the myelin petches.

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: Because of the backlash, people got upset about this. Doctor

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: Linda dere is a clinical director, always the clinical director

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: of MENO doctor and with us. Now, Heylanda, hello, good news.

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, very good news. Yeah, a relief. This is

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: what we needed to hear.

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: Do you think anyone's going to go for the myelind

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: or is everybody just going to opt for the old one.

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's important to say that, you know, some women

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: actually get on better with my lamb than estradot. So

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: although yeah, so we can't all just now all rush

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: out and all want to get estradot patches because basically

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: then we will run out of them again. Yeah, so

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: we've got to bear in mind. It's good to have

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: these options because some women actually get on better with

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: myelin than estradot, but for other women it was the

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: other way round. So losing estradoct for those women was

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: just devastating.

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Brilliant. Oh, that's fantastic news. Now, Linda, did you see

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the story about the woman who refused an insurance policy

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: cover over anything to do with her minopause because she

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: already had it. It was a pre existing health condition. Do

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: you see that?

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: I did, Yeah, sent that to me this morning. I

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: mean it's a tricky one in that case. I think

28
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: they were sort of saying, well, she was already on

29
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: some HRT. Therefore email where you could say, well, there's

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 2: that preexisting. The way the article was written, though, it

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: was kind of hard to decipher. But were they saying,

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: actually it was just if she ever gets anything to

33
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: do with peri or menopause, they're not going to cover it.

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: I don't think that was the message from Southern Cross.

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: I would hope not. And they do cover menopause consultations

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: for some specialties, although unfortunately not for my clinic.

37
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you had, if you were covered by insurance,

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: what is it that you would be claiming related to.

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: Your menopause, Well, to see a specialist to kind of

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: get that tailored individualized HRT and assessments. So that might

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: be an endocrinologist or a guynecologist or a menopause doctor.

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Because for a lot of GPS this can be too

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: complicated and difficult, and it does take a bit more

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: time in the average fifty minute GP appointment, and we

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: don't get that much training as GPS on menopause hormone therapy,

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: so a lot of women do need that extra care,

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: that extra expertise.

48
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Linda, thanks very much. I really appreciate your time.
