Online BHRT Options to Consider
Here are some well-regarded online/telehealth alternatives that can significantly reduce costs:
Top Recommendations
Winona
- Specializes specifically in women's BHRT/menopause
- All-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees
- Licensed physicians, not just NPs
- Roughly $99-$199/month
Midi Health
- Women's midlife health focused
- Often covered by insurance (major differentiator)
- Board-certified clinicians
- Good for ongoing management
Alloy Health
- Straightforward, affordable hormone therapy
- Strong focus on menopause symptoms
- Transparent flat-rate pricing
Hers
- Broader telehealth platform with hormone options
- Competitive pricing
- Easy app interface
Things to Keep in Mind
- Verify they prescribe bioidentical specifically if that's important to you, since some use conventional HRT
- Check if insurance applies - Midi is often best for this
- Lab work costs may be separate - ask upfront
- Pellet therapy typically still requires in-person visits regardless of platform
Honest Caveat
Quality of monitoring varies - make sure whoever you choose orders regular labs and doesn't just auto-refill without follow-up.
