I already started T in November of last year. I live in San Antonio, TX, but I have to travel to Houston to see my doctor. My doctor who prescribed T for me is not and endo but an OB/GYN. I'm fine that he can prescribe me T, but I don't think I can travel all the way to Houston for that anymore. Sure it is a lot cheaper over there. Since they have a program where they can cover most of the costs and I only pay partial, but I need something closer. At least in Austin or local. There was a doctor here that prescribed T, but recently he stopped taking new patients. I just want a doctor that I can see that is not too far and tell me how things are going and if I need more T to prescribe it. I don't have insurance so I can't afford really high costs. Right now I pay $35 per visit in Houston and my T prescription is $12. I would like it to stay that way honestly. I just don't want to travel that much for it. Don't get me wrong I am happy that I started T because I went over there, but I cannot afford to travel to Houston every 2 months. Now, I do have an insurance of some kind. If any of you live in San Antonio, this may sound a bit familiar to you. I have CareLink, which is not really an insurance it is just a form for you to pay off your balance in payments. My payments are $20 each month, not bad, but I can only use CareLink in the University clinics/hospital. If I go to a standard clinic, CareLink will not be accepted there. I'm thinking maybe I can possibly find and endo there. So I can start seeing one there, and at the same time not pay for it right there and then.

Anyone with any info please do tell, it will be appreciated.
