low t issues needing advice

[logandh]

Hello, I am a 47 year old male and I have very low T levels, under 200 and having other issues. My insurance has made it clear that they will not cover any regimental therapies to help combat my issues and all of the men's health clinics in my area want to charge a guy a minimum of $350 dollars per month so out of desperation I have been researching buying my own Testosterone injections online from, hopefully a reputable source. I have been duped by all the T boosters libido enhancers you can buy over the counter and can't find any of them that work. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I appreciate any help that you can give.

I am going to copy my response to your similar question that you posted in another thread.

I would not let insurance coverage, or lack of, stop you from dong TRT. The treatment is very cheap. You could see your doctor once a year after you get set up on TRT. This could be labeled as a physical exam which most insurance plans cover for free.

The medication is super cheap. If you use Prices, Coupons and Information - GoodRx you can get a 10ml vial of test cyp for about $45. This vial should last you 10-20 weeks on TRT depending on your dosage.

Arimidex generic is really cheap. Something like $15 for 30 pills. If you need an AI, that 30 pills would last most guys about 60 weeks.

hCG as well is pretty cheap if you need it. I can't recall the price though.

If you use Private MD - Buy Lab Tests Online you can get the blood work you need for about $54. You would need more blood work when you first start TRT, but once you get dialed in you could probably get by only doing blood work about twice a year.

So insurance covering your treatment should really not be an obstacle to getting good TRT treatment for hypogonadism.

No asking for sources.

Something doesn't sound right about your insurance being unwilling to cover treatment despite your total T being in the 100's. Did they give you any details as to why? Were you ever able to get a diagnosis as to why your levels were so low? Perhaps they'd have less of an issue covering it if your diagnosis was more than just "low T".

Also, there are clinics out there that charge less than $350/month. You'd still prob be looking at about $200/month, but it's better than $350. You may have to travel in order to find one, but many of them only require a couple of visits per year.

He might have major medical only - I had that type of coverage when I was a contractor. Though I think that type of coverage is no longer allowed, part of the "If you like your medical plan you can keep it" group of plans you are not allowed to keep.

TRT should not be $350 a month thats way too much. There are much better options out there
