Getting Testosterone Tested and Treated Online
Here are some reputable telehealth options:
Testing Services
- Everlywell - At-home finger-prick blood test kits, mailed to a lab, results online (~$49-99)
- LetsGetChecked - Similar at-home testing with nurse follow-up calls
- Quest Diagnostics - Can order your own lab work online in many states
Telehealth TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) Providers
- Defy Medical - Well-regarded, comprehensive hormone panels, works with experienced physicians
- Maximus - Focuses specifically on men's hormonal health, relatively affordable
- Fountain TRT - Straightforward process, board-certified urologists
- Hone Health - Includes at-home testing + physician consultation in one platform
- Roman (Ro) - Large established platform, convenient but sometimes less specialized
What to Expect
- Initial blood panel (total T, free T, estradiol, PSA, CBC, etc.)
- Physician consultation to review results
- Prescription sent to a pharmacy if appropriate
- Ongoing monitoring every 3-6 months
Tips
- Avoid services that skip proper lab work or monitoring
- Legitimate providers will check multiple hormones, not just testosterone
- Costs typically range $100-300/month including medication
Always work with a licensed physician even through telehealth platforms.
