The cost of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can vary depending on several factors, including the types of hormones used, the dose and frequency, the route of administration, additional medications or supplements, provider fees, and insurance coverage. However, some general observations on BHRT costs include:
Hormones
- The hormones themselves account for a significant portion of the cost. Common bioidentical hormones used in therapy include estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, melatonin, and thyroid hormone. The specific formulations and doses impact the prices. Compounded BHRT tends to be more expensive than commercially available standard doses.
Administration
- BHRT can be taken orally, transdermally (through the skin), sublingually (under the tongue), or by injection/implant. Transdermal patches, gels, and creams have additional compounding and packaging costs. Injections and pellets also have added fees for the administration procedures.
Provider Fees
- Initial consultations with a trained HRT provider range from $100-$500 depending on their credentials and experience. Follow-up visits may range from $75-$300. Blood tests and lab work can also incur additional charges.
Insurance Coverage
- Since bioidentical hormones are often individually customized and compounded, they may not be covered by insurance plans. However, the provider visits and testing may be reimbursable if the patient has a diagnosed medical condition causing hormone deficiency.
