Several telehealth companies and specialty clinics offer evaluation and prescriptions for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Availability and specific products (FDA‑approved vs compounded formulations, pellets, gels, injections) vary by state and by clinic, so check each site for your state and condition. Here are well‑known options and why people use them:
- Elektra Health — Menopause‑focused telemedicine with clinicians who specialize in menopause care; offers individualized HRT plans and follow‑up, including bioidentical options.
- Gennev — Telehealth and digital resources for midlife/menopause; prescribes hormone therapy (including bioidentical estradiol/progesterone options) and focuses on symptom management.
- BodyLogicMD — National network of physicians who specialize in hormonal optimization for men and women; many clinicians offer BHRT and telemedicine visits plus lab ordering and follow‑up.
- Biote — A branded network known for BHRT pellet therapy; many Biote clinicians provide teleconsults and pellet insertion via partnered offices. (Note: pellet therapy is a specific modality — discuss pros/cons.)
- Hims & Hers — Large direct‑to‑consumer telehealth platform; Hims and Hers provide testosterone therapy for men and various women’s hormone/menopause services through online visits and home delivery.
- Roman (Ro) — Telehealth primarily for men’s health; offers testosterone replacement therapy (bioidentical testosterone formulations) with online evaluation and home delivery.

Important considerations before you sign up:
- Ask whether the clinic prescribes FDA‑approved bioidentical hormones (e.g., pharmaceutical‑grade estradiol, micronized progesterone, testosterone) or uses compounded formulations, and why they recommend one form over another.
- Confirm state licensure, required labs, monitoring plan (bloodwork, bone density, mammograms), and follow‑up schedules.
- Understand risks, contraindications, and alternatives; BHRT should be tailored and monitored by a clinician.
