Jo Marie Munnich, MD

Welcome to my small, solo private practice!

I am a Family Medicine primary care doctor with more than two decades of experience. I am providing consultations via Zoom or phone.

My passion is to serve people struggling with issues that are not easily addressed in the current paradigm where care is passed around between multiple providers who are over-worked and under-supported.

I strive to provide wise and compassionate care in a non-pressured, supportive environment.

I have special expertise in the following conditions:

Peri-Menopause and Menopause

Long Covid

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

But I am here to offer consultation and help with navigation of any complex medical issue that people are needing help to sort out.

My appointments are designed to allow people to share their stories and concerns over the course of one hour initial appointments. I charge $300 for the initial visit, and then $225 for 50 minute follow-up visits.

I provide an invoice shortly after our visit. I encourage you to use this free service from Reimbursify to submit your invoice online to your insurance plan for reimbursement. ( I do not work with a billing service, and do not bill insurance plans directly myself. )

Most insurance plans will reimburse you between 50-90% of the cost of the visit, depending on your plan’s coverage. You can immediately receive an estimate of how much your insurance plan will reimburse you for each consultation using this link to Reimbursify:

If you would like to check with your insurance plan on your own regarding how much of the visit will be reimbursed, you can let them know the CPT code I use for billing for new patients is 99205. The CPT code for follow-up visits is 99215. My NPI# is 1649227216.

Self-booking appointments are available on the Charm portal. You can reach out to me for a specific time to be arranged—I can almost always make any accommodation you need.

You can e-mail me at JoMarie@Munnich.com.

My assistant Tiffany will reach back out to you with an invitation to join my patient portal Charm.

I welcome you to a more rewarding patient experience.

My Journey

I am a Bay Area girl, raised by a mom who has always been into all things alternative. I had little exposure to Western Medicine. I grew up surrounded by non-traditional ways of healing and understanding spirituality. As a teenager I became enamored with learning the science behind healing.

I attended college at Cal Berkeley and majored in Physiology.

I loved studying how the human body works. I knew that I wanted to help people ease their suffering and to have healthier lives, but I had not yet developed the confidence to see myself becoming a doctor.

After graduating from college, I worked at Planned Parenthood in Oakland for two years as a medical assistant. There I received encouragement from the nurse practitioners I worked with to take the brave step forward. I took the MCAT and applied to medical school.

I was so grateful to be able to attend medical school at UC Irvine. Once in medical school, I decided to pursue a residency in Family Medicine, because the training focused on the whole person in relation to their whole environment, not just specific parts of the body.

I completed my residency training in 1999 at Chestnut Hill in Philadelphia, which was affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania.

I returned home to the Bay Area in 1999, joining a well-established private practice group in Albany where I took care of families for over a decade.

Then I leapt at the chance to join UCSF Primary Care in 2010. I worked for 7 years in the Women’s Health Center. There I grew my knowledge base and skill sets by caring for women struggling through cancer treatments, complex autoimmune conditions, and many other complicated medical diagnoses.

Next I transitioned over to One Medical following the promise of longer appointment times with patients in a more patient-first oriented setting.

Now I have broken away from Big Corporate Medicine, so that I can provide thoughtful consultations in a compassionate, non-pressured environment.

I am an active member of The Menopause Society.

I regularly attend Continuing Medical Education conferences through the Mayo Clinic.

I a licensed through the state Medical Board of California, and can provide medical care to anyone residing in this beautiful state.

I have lived in San Francisco for over twenty years, and love living here.
