Telehealth Options for Bioidentical Hormones
Yes, you can get bioidentical testosterone and progesterone prescribed via telehealth. Several reputable platforms offer this:
Well-Known Providers

- Hone Health - Popular for men seeking testosterone, also serves women
- Defy Medical - Long-established telehealth HRT clinic with experienced practitioners
- MaxLife - Offers comprehensive hormone panels and prescriptions

What to Expect
- Initial blood work (they typically order labs or accept recent results)
- Consultation with a licensed physician or NP
- Prescription sent to a compounding pharmacy or standard pharmacy
Things to Keep in Mind
- Progesterone (like oral micronized progesterone/Prometrium) is FDA-approved
- Compounded bioidentical hormones vary in quality — ask about pharmacy accreditation (PCAB)
- Costs vary; some accept insurance, many are cash-pay
- Ongoing monitoring is important for safety
Midi and Alloy are particularly well-reviewed for women, while Hone and Defy Medical are strong options for men or mixed-gender care.
