Title: Cost of t?
Post by: Michael Joseph on June 22, 2010, 07:45:50 PM
The shot is the method i'm curious about. Could anyone tell me how much it costs, and if insurance covers any of it?

I get a 10-mL vial and supplies from Strohecker's for under sixty bucks.

And it depends on your insurance.

You might hunt around for other threads on this very topic--some people have mentioned other places to get T cheaply.

Yep. The price includes the vial, needles, alcohol swabs, and standard shipping (which seems to be pretty fast).

I looked into Stroheckers. Then I found a place $10 cheaper. $49.50 for a 10ml vial.

The Apothecary Shop.
They have places in different states, you'd have to google and go to their website and see where they're located and call them to see if they can ship to you.
But I ordered from them, and got it the next day, just in time for my next shot. That didn't include syringes, but I already had some and I just get them around here.

That's why I was recommending that he search for that other thread. But there were differing reports about the pricing from this business. I thought the price might vary by state, or something. Did you find a quoted price on their site, or did you get the information some other way?

Nope, they had no prices on their site and I'm pretty sure they don't even mention T. One other guy from here got his for $30, but then again he may have been on a different dose and he also lived closer to the pharmacy than I did so it may have cost more shipping. In the end, I was charged 49.50 and that's the price I was quoted when I called and specified my dosage.
