Short answer: several telehealth companies and specialty networks explicitly offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Which is best depends on whether you need menopause care, testosterone replacement, pellet therapy, or ongoing monitoring — and on your state’s telemedicine rules.
Examples to consider (names + why):
-
Defy Medical — Specialty telemedicine clinic known for testosterone replacement and age-management medicine; offers lab testing, individualized BHRT plans, and prescriptions shipped to your pharmacy. Good if you want a hormone-focused practice.
-
BodyLogicMD — A national network of clinicians focused on women’s bioidentical hormone therapy; offers telemedicine visits, individualized BHRT (including pellet options through local providers), and menopause-focused care.
-
BioTE — Not a clinic but a widely used bioidentical hormone pellet therapy system; BioTE trains/certifies local clinicians and many participating clinics offer telehealth consults plus in‑office pellet insertion. Good if you specifically want pellet therapy.
-
Parsley Health — Functional-medicine primary care with a women’s health/menopause focus; offers thorough lab-driven BHRT plans and longer telemedicine visits. Good if you want an integrative approach.
-
PlushCare — General telemedicine provider that treats hormone issues and can prescribe bioidentical formulations where appropriate; useful for convenient primary‑care driven BHRT and lab orders.
-
Hims & Hers / Ro — Large telehealth platforms that treat men’s and women’s hormone issues (e.g., testosterone therapy for men, some menopause/testosterone options for women). Convenient and lower-cost for common prescriptions, though formulary and scope vary by state.
What to watch for
- State licensing and laws: availability and formulations vary by state.
- Formulation and route: “Bioidentical” can mean pellets, creams, injections, or compounded pills — pellet insertion requires an in‑person visit.
- Credentials and monitoring: choose clinics that include baseline labs and ongoing monitoring (lipids, estradiol/testosterone, blood counts, etc.).
- Compounded vs. FDA‑approved products: ask whether the clinic prescribes FDA‑approved hormone products or uses compounded bioidentical hormones and where the pharmacy is located.
If you tell me whether you’re seeking menopause care (female), testosterone/TRT (male), pellet therapy, or your state, I can narrow this to 2–3 specific providers that serve your area and compare pricing and services.
