BHRT Providers with Comprehensive Lab Panels
Here are some well-known providers that typically include lab work in their programs:
Telehealth/Online Providers
- Defy Medical - Known for thorough initial and follow-up bloodwork panels including hormones, metabolic markers, and thyroid
- BodyLogicMD - Uses comprehensive hormone panels and matches patients with local physicians
- Hone Health - Includes hormone panels in their membership; straightforward process with ongoing monitoring
- Maximus (men-focused) - Includes lab work with their optimization programs
Clinic-Based Networks
- Biote - Their certified providers typically run detailed panels before pellet therapy
- SottoPelle - Emphasizes lab-guided dosing with regular monitoring
- Cenegenics - Very comprehensive (though premium-priced); extensive metabolic and hormone testing
What to Look For in Lab Panels
Good programs should test:
- Estradiol, testosterone (free & total), progesterone
- Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4)
- DHEA-S, cortisol
- CBC, metabolic panel
- PSA (men)
Honest Caveat
Lab inclusion and costs vary by location and plan, so always confirm what's included before committing. Some charge separately for labs even within "programs."
