HRT through an online clinic typically costs $100 to $200 per month for an all-in plan that includes consultations, medication management, and sometimes the medication itself[1].
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of how costs vary by model:
| Model Type | Monthly Cost Range | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Bundled (All-in) | $100–$200/month | Visits, medication management, and often the medication[1] |
| Membership-only | $79–$299/month + meds/lab fees | Platform access, provider messaging, consultation scheduling — medications billed separately[1] |
| Per-Visit | Higher initial fee (~$259), lower follow-ups | Initial appointment at $259; follow-ups at $120 — meds billed separately[2] |
| With Insurance | ~$84/month average | Includes 4 visits/year + meds; insurance may cover significant portion[2][3] |
| Without Insurance (Meds Only) | $20–$60/month | Generic estradiol patch: ~$30–$60; pills often less[1] |
Specific examples:
- True U Clinic: No monthly fees; initial visit $259, follow-ups $120; meds $20–$60/month out-of-pocket[2]
- Midi Health: $250 initial + $120 follow-ups; with insurance, average ~$84/month including visits and meds[2]
- Generic estradiol patch (GoodRx): Can be under $40/month; some dosages as low as $20/month[4]
For the most budget-friendly option, consider a membership-only clinic where you pay a lower monthly fee and purchase medications separately using discount cards like GoodRx or Express Scripts[1][4].
If you have insurance, your total cost could drop to around $84/month on average, including visits and medications[2][3].
For personalized recommendations, consider clinics like True U, Midi Health, or LifeMD, based on your insurance status and preferred treatment model.
