So, I read this on FY FTMs, wanted to forward it on.
I can't post the link to the original article because of the use of "no no words" lol
If you are an American trans guy who can't get T because of lack money or your insurance doesn't cover it, you may be able to get it for free directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes it.
One example is 'Abbot' who produce Androgel. They have a website (linked below) that is specifically for people who can't afford their prescriptions. Their requirements for getting free medication are as follows:
Eligible patients typically have no healthcare coverage for the requested product and do not have access to alternative sources of coverage or funding.
To get Androgel you have to have a prescription as it is a controlled substance. Therefore there is the cost of getting one, unless you go to a free clinic.
Follow the link and click on 'Androgel Enrolment Form'. Fill it out IN FULL and include everything it asks or you will be
refused.It might be time consuming but it will result in you getting free T that you wouldn't get anywhere else.
Also, this is only for those who cannot afford T. If you have enough money to pay for it yourself you will be refused.
