BHRT Providers with Comprehensive Lab Panels
Here are some well-known providers that typically include lab work as part of their programs:
Telehealth/Online Platforms
- Midi Health - Focuses on women 40+, includes hormone panels and follow-up testing as part of care coordination
- Hone Health - Men's hormone optimization with upfront lab panels included in membership
- Joi Women's Wellness - Includes comprehensive hormone blood work in their programs
- BodyLogicMD - Network of practitioners with included baseline and monitoring labs
Specialty Clinics
- Defy Medical - Known for thorough initial panels covering hormones, thyroid, metabolic markers
- Nuvive - Includes labs in their hormone optimization programs
- LooksMax/Maximus (men's focus) - Lab panels included
Important Caveats to Consider
- Lab inclusion varies by location and plan - always confirm what's covered before signing up
- Some charge labs separately even if listed as "included"
- Verify if follow-up monitoring labs are included, not just initial panels
- Check if they work with your insurance for lab costs
What to Ask Specifically
- How many panels per year are included?
- Which specific biomarkers are tested?
- Are thyroid and metabolic markers included alongside sex hormones?
I'd recommend calling 2-3 providers directly to compare exactly what their panels cover before committing.
