Title: HRT Costs
Post by: Crow on September 06, 2011, 03:01:20 PM
Okay, so testosterone is a thing that might be happening in the near future, but I need to assess the financial situation before I jump into anything.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of what the various costs of HRT are? (i.e. hormones themselves, who I need to see/how often/what is or isn't usually covered by insurance, etc.)

Advice on how to minimize the costs would be fantastic, as well!

A few details that may or may not be relevant:
-I live in Rhode Island
-I'm a pretty tiny guy, so I'll probably be on the lower end of the dosage range
-I have medical insurance, but it kind of (to put it lightly) sucks
