Things to Know
- You'll typically need bloodwork before prescribing (some services include this)
- Costs vary - expect $100-300+/month depending on medications and consultation fees
- Some services take insurance, many are cash-pay
- Progesterone is more straightforward to prescribe than testosterone, which is a controlled substance
Midi Health and Defy Medical are particularly strong reputations in their respective niches. Always verify the provider is a licensed physician, not just a nurse practitioner if that matters to you.
