Bioidentical hormones in Arlington: what it means
"Bioidentical" describes a hormone whose chemical structure matches one the body makes. Two hormones used in menopause care fit it exactly, estradiol and micronized progesterone. Both come in FDA-approved prescription forms, from estradiol pills, patches, gels and vaginal forms to progesterone capsules.
Many products sold as "bioidentical hormones" or "BHRT" are compounded instead: mixed by a pharmacy for one prescription, often as a custom cream or a pellet. None of these is FDA-approved, and the FDA has not reviewed them for safety, effectiveness or quality before sale. In the FDA's words, it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective. When the National Academies reviewed them in 2020, the evidence was mostly low quality, such as anecdotes and patient reports.
You do not choose a "bioidentical" product from a menu: after a private intake, a physician licensed in Virginia decides what, if anything, fits, and the form. VevaMD does not offer pellets. The pharmacy that fills VevaMD prescriptions also compounds, so ask your physician whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are not FDA-approved.
For its size, Arlington is well supplied with OB-GYNs: the NPI registry lists 59, or 25.1 per 100,000 residents, against 17.8 for the US and above Virginia's 18.1. With about 26,178 women aged 45 to 64 living in Arlington, that is about 440 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.
Counting the area around it, 770 OB-GYNs practice in Arlington or within 10 miles and 1,314 within 25 miles: 25.3 for every 100,000 of the 5,190,867 people who live within 25 miles, a dense supply. None of this replaces your own OB-GYN or a menopause doctor you trust; VevaMD adds an online route, with a physician licensed in Virginia reviewing your answers from home in Arlington.
BHRT pellet clinics work differently: they place a hormone pellet under the skin in the office, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society points to a study that found hormone levels well above the expected range in women using them. ACOG's guidance is to prefer FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy to compounded hormones.

Some forms VevaMD's physicians prescribe are compounded as well; ask which yours is.
