CONTRA-HORMONE THERAPY

CONTRA-HORMONE THERAPY which I seen on Dr Mcginns website is this just like anyother form of HRT or does it work better.. I don't understand how it can only be $400/year

I think its just someone you can use to monitor and prescribe, remember though that the $400 a year doesnt include lab work or prescriptions

"Contra-hormone therapy" is just a fancy way of saying administering estrogen to trans women or testosterone to trans men (the hormones are "contra" to what the body produces). As for whether her specific regimen is special, well, most doctors seem to think theirs is the best... and what works for a specific person varies BY person, so who knows.

Since that link says it doesn't cover lab work OR prescriptions, I'm kinda wondering what the $400 does pay for. All I get from my endo is lab work and exams, and then I pay for the prescriptions at the pharmacy! So maybe it's exams? But if so, that's actually kinda expensive; most people with insurance can at least get the endo exam itself covered for a copay, and personally my endo visits cost me $50/year total.

It would be a fantastic deal if it included lab work. Before I had insurance I was paying about 1200/year for office visits and lab work.
