Medication Costs
It’s often challenging to predict insurance coverage for specific medications. To estimate your out-of-pocket expenses, we recommend checking prices on GoodRx (or a similar discount site).
When looking up medications, here are the names and typical doses of commonly used medicines:
- Testosterone cypionate (a 1ml vial typically lasts 2-4 weeks)
- Estradiol tablets (typical dose is 2-6mg per day)
- Estradiol patches (typical dose is 0.025-0.1mg/day, applied twice weekly)
- Estradiol valerate injections (a 5ml vial typically lasts 2-3 months)
- Spironolactone (typical dose is 200mg per day)
- Bicalutamide (typical dose is 50mg per day)
- Progesterone (typical dose is 100mg per day)
Insurance
Some important notes:
- Verify your annual deductible, as you might be charged the full price even if we accept your plan.
- It’s wise to call your insurance and confirm if Dr. Isabel Lowell is in-network, particularly for Blue Cross.
- Even if we don’t accept your insurance, your plan may still cover labwork and/or medications.
