questions on HRT/TRT

[tinytony]

Just wondering if there are insurance companies out there that cover this? I have no need of it because I do PCT and all but for the future you know? I'm nearing 30 and one day I may feel to do this.

I have UHC and it's covered both from my PCP and a local anti-aging clinic.

Oh yeah. So you are on a copay?

Blue Cross Blue Shield covers part of the script for HRT but not all. So it cuts my cost in about half. But I had to do it via my General practitioner and then referral to endo once the blood work came back it was all under my insurance.

I hear you. So most insurance companies require you to go through your doctor first?

Mine did, I cant speak to most insurance companies I honestly work with a large number of doctors and pharma companies in my profession but that only gives me insight into their practices not there billing :/

I had my prescription through a dr, and my health insurance covers the full cost

Yep. Clinic visits are $20, 10mL vial of test cyp is $10.

I do at home injects now. Box of 100 hypos is ~$14, so TRT runs me around $50-60/month in months I have bloods done, $6-$7 on normal months.

Even if insurance does not cover it, the choice is simple (for me). I would find a way to pay cash. The benefits are just too material.

AT 2 pins per week, that's 500 weeks that is only 9.61 years. Man, you better start sourcing again.....

Actually, that is a great idea. Maybe you could start a buying group?
