Understanding Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Costs
If you’re delving into the world of hormone replacement therapy, you’re probably wondering about the price tag. The cost of hormone replacement therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal—it varies based on the type of therapy you opt for. So, let’s demystify the question: How much does bioidentical hormone replacement therapy cost?
Navigating the Insurance Labyrinth
Unfortunately, the journey into hormone replacement therapy involves some hidden costs beyond the therapy itself. Adding to the complexity, insurance companies tend to keep the details under wraps until you’re handed a prescription. What you pay for insurance, co-pays, doctor’s visits, and lab work can fluctuate based on the specific therapy you choose.
Understanding Hormone Replacement Therapy
As the name implies, hormone replacement therapy aims to bring your hormone levels to their optimal state, alleviating symptoms and enhancing overall health. There’s a variety of hormone replacement therapies, each with distinct advantages, disadvantages, and, of course, costs.
Pills: A Monthly Tally
For those opting for oral hormone replacement therapy, the monthly prescription falls between $130 and $240, totaling $1,560 to $2,440 annually. Most insurance covers HRT pills, and patients typically only bear the co-pay costs, hovering around $30 per month. It is important to note that our clinic does not bill insurances for our services. Our hormone management fees range from $75- $125 per month. Some insurances will not cover compounded prescriptions. We do prefer compounded prescriptions for many individuals so we have found a few compounding pharmacies that offer competitive rates on prescriptions.
Injectables: A Pricier Path
Primarily used in men but favored by some women, injectable hormone therapy is on the higher end cost-wise. Prices range from $288 to $1,440 for those with insurance and $480 to $4,800 for the uninsured. With 52 to 156 injections annually, it demands frequent monitoring of your results over the course of the first year.
Pellets: An Investment in Wellness
Pellet therapy, often a cash-based procedure, might not be covered by insurance, meaning you foot the entire bill. Surprisingly, the cost can be comparable to other treatments, considering the benefits it offers. Prices range are $425 per placement for women and $750 per placement for men, requiring only 2 to 4 procedures annually. At Aviva Wo/Man this fee also covers prescription management and all follow up visits needed in between pellet placements.
Creams/Patches/Gels: Topical Tranquility
These applications sit in the same price range as other treatments. Some appreciate the minimal side effects, while others dislike the twice-daily application. Costs average $60 to $360 for the insured and $120 to $1,020 for the uninsured. We do charge a monthly management fee of $125 that covers labs and all your office visits for the year.
