My HRT doc

[dbbt]

Hey guys my HRT doc charges me $700 ($65 per month) a year which covers script renewal, blood work reading and personal phone calls to discuss monthly blood work or bi monthly work. That $700 is not covered by insurance. And it doesnt include the cost of pins and my testosterone from the pharmacy which is $15 per month with copay. My question is this, do endocrinologists or general practitioners charge as much as my doc does? Cant I just get scripts for my testosterone and go pick them up with my copay without my doc's pockets getting fat at $700 per year...especially when i only get blood work every couple months now, it was initially more until we found my therapeutic dose.

Is this a local doc or one you found elsewhere? I think that sounds very reasonable, would be interested in checking them out if they aren't a local dr.

You're getting screwed.

Copay twice a year for blood and checkups, refills are for 6 months. I donate blood to keep crit down.

This guy charges for refills, vs a single scrip with refills, WTF!?



Keep shopping

Yes this guy is local


Malcolm who do you suggest?

Are there better deals available out there that aren't local guys? Are you guys getting GP's and endo's to prescribe? My GP laughed at me for needing TRT at my last physical. Thought it was phony that at 40 I needed test. So some Dr are idiots are are ignorant to TRT

$700 a year for visits blood work etc. Sounds very reasonable if not cheap to me. Look at what the Dr.s charge the insurance companies for a visit. and the blood work can run into the hundreds of dollars as well. My copay makes it cheap but that is because the insurance company is picking up the majority of the tab.

It's not too bad for being cash. Obviously if it was under insurance it would be cheaper.

That's not bad at all for a HRT doc without insurance
