Several telemedicine clinics and specialty networks offer evaluation and prescription of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Availability and specific products (compounded vs FDA‑approved bioidentical hormones, pellets vs gels/injections/pills) vary by provider and by state laws, so confirm directly with the clinic. Common options:
-
Defy Medical — specialty telemedicine clinic focused on hormonal optimization and TRT/BHRT. Known for detailed hormone testing, longer follow‑up, and options including pellet therapy and injectable/topical formulations.
-
BodyLogicMD — a national network of physicians who focus on hormone replacement for men and women; offers BHRT and individualized treatment plans with local or telehealth visits.
-
Hims & Hers — large consumer telehealth brands that prescribe testosterone and certain menopause/sexual‑health hormone treatments; convenient enrollment, standardized protocols, home delivery.
-
Ro (Roman) / Rory (Ro’s women’s health offerings) — Ro’s men’s and women’s services include testosterone replacement for men and menopause support for women; convenient telehealth model and home delivery.
-
Gennev — menopause‑focused telehealth platform that offers symptom management and works with prescribers to provide hormone therapy (including bioidentical options) for women in menopause.
-
Defy, Gennev, and BodyLogicMD are more specialized for conventional BHRT, while Hims, Hers, and Ro provide higher‑volume, consumer‑oriented telehealth BHRT services.
-
Plume and Folx — specialize in gender‑affirming care and provide trans‑specific hormone therapy (bioidentical estradiol/testosterone regimens) via telehealth in many states.
Other ways to access BHRT:
- Local compounding pharmacies working with an HRT clinic (many BHRT prescriptions are filled via compounding pharmacies).
- Telehealth primary‑care platforms (PlushCare, etc.) sometimes provide hormone prescriptions; check each provider’s scope.
Safety and practical notes:
- Ask whether the clinic uses evidence‑based protocols, orders baseline and follow‑up labs, and has physician oversight.
- Clarify whether prescriptions are FDA‑approved bioidentical hormones (e.g., 17‑β‑estradiol, micronized progesterone) or custom‑compounded products (different regulatory oversight).
- Laws and prescribing availability differ by state; confirm the clinic serves your state.
- Always discuss risks/benefits with a licensed clinician before starting therapy.
If you want, tell me whether you need BHRT for menopause, low testosterone, or gender‑affirming care and which US state you’re in, and I can narrow the list to providers that serve your needs and location.
