Short answer: several national BHRT providers and clinic networks include comprehensive lab panels as part of their programs. Below are well-known options and why people pick them — check each provider’s current offerings and costs (some include labs in price, others bill separately to insurance or require an out‑of‑pocket lab fee).
Providers that commonly include comprehensive lab panels

What to confirm before you sign up
- Exactly which tests are included (examples you may want: estradiol, progesterone, total & free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA‑S, LH/FSH, TSH/free T4, CMP/CBC, lipids, PSA when indicated).
- Whether lab costs are included in program price or billed separately/through insurance.
- Type of sample used (venous blood draw vs at‑home dried blood spot or saliva) and which lab (LabCorp/Quest/local).
- Frequency of monitoring (3, 6, 12 months, etc.) and clinician follow‑up.
- Whether treating clinicians are board‑certified (endocrinology, OB/GYN, family medicine) and whether they prescribe FDA‑approved vs compounded BHRT.
If you want, tell me whether you’re looking for male, female, menopause, or gender‑affirming BHRT and whether you prefer telehealth or an in‑person clinic — I can shortlist 2–3 providers that best match your needs and compare the lab panels they include.
