I use Telehealth to order my Testerone. I found a local place that can prescribed it, and call it into a local compounding pharmacy. I’m trying to weigh out the cost benefit for me. The local pharmacy could only give me a range, but I am curious to what others pay to see if it’s similar to what I’m use to.
Pre-65 years of age, I had to pay about $100 for 10mL of 200mg/mL of testosterone cypionate.
Post 65 years of age, I pay $10 for 10mL of 200mg/mL of testosterone.
I really have no idea the process with GoodRx. I’ve been going through Defy Medical and paying ~$140 for a 10ml vial, and a decent amount for JCG as well. If Defy is teh one prescribing this to me, how am I able to go through GoodRx for these prescriptions?
Probably not with defy, cos they have a deal with Empower set up. My clinic had an option to just get an Rx sent to my CVS and insurance covers the meds. They are in Florida, and I’m still not sure how they’re able to Rx me out of state (may have to do with Covid) but I don’t question it lol
Is everyone here using GooxRx or having testosterone covered by insurance is having TRT prescribed by a local provider? If I am unable to do this through Defy Medical, I will need to establish a local provider.
Defy said they could not call in Testosterone or HCG, as I’m in North Carolina, and laws do not allow a clinic in Florida to call it in to a pharmacy in North Carolina.
Also - Is everyone who is having their insurance or GoodRx kick in for their TRT picking this up at a compounding pharmacy? Or do regular pharmacies such as Walgreens supply this as well?
Generally a pharma testosterone is going to be better than a compounding pharmacy testosterone. Compounding pharmacies are held only to very loose tolerances. I think I could produce testosterone out of raws in my kitchen to half the allowable tolerance they are held to. Not saying it won’t work, it just isn’t as consistent of a product.
I believe COVID changed this. Rules regarding out of states Rx for C3 drugs were lightened due to the pandemic. My clinic in Florida sends my Rx to my CVS in Virginia.
