BHRT Providers with Comprehensive Lab Panels
Here are some well-known providers that typically include lab work as part of their programs:
Telehealth/Direct-to-Consumer
- Midi Health - Focuses on women's midlife health, includes hormone panels and follow-up testing
- Winona - Includes baseline and monitoring labs in their women's BHRT programs
- Defy Medical - Known for thorough initial panels including thyroid, metabolic, and sex hormones
- Hone Health - Includes comprehensive male hormone panels with their programs
Clinic Networks
- BodyLogicMD - Uses affiliated physicians who order extensive baseline panels before prescribing
- Cenegenics - Known for very thorough metabolic and hormone testing (premium pricing)
- SottoPelle - Pellet therapy provider network that includes monitoring labs
Things to Look For
- Initial panel covering estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid
- Follow-up testing at 3-6 months after starting
- Metabolic markers (glucose, lipids, CBC)
Honest Caveat
Lab inclusion and comprehensiveness varies by location and physician even within the same network. Always ask specifically:
- What labs are included vs. billed separately?
- How often is retesting included?
