We have BCBS insurance (Michigan) and they cover a lot of the cost of my testosterone, but not all of it. The testosterone itself costs roughly $200, but we only pay roughly $60. They also cover my therapy, psychologist & endocrinologist. We just have to pay a copay of $10 for my therapist & psychologist and $15 for my endo.

We have a pretty basic plan, but coverage on such things may vary from state to state, so you should refer to the bcbs website to make sure (I think someone already suggested this sooo yeah . . lol).

That's really high for T, isn't it? I plan on paying in full and getting a few months worth for what you owe for copay.

Yeah, the generic can be quite cheap if you find the right pharmacy. I was paying around $60 at Strohecker's, but I found a local pharmacy that charges $45 (that includes needles, but I have to buy my own wipes--and those are cheap).

I'll be interested to hear what information the original poster turns up on BCBS. Maybe he's lucky and he has one of the liberal plans.
