All types of hormone applications are ordered through Medquest Compounding Pharmacy and Cypress Compounding. Dr. Uribe is very particular about the quality of all patients' hormones. Hormones are shipped with a three-month supply.

Coverage for hormone therapy through your medical insurance can vary based on your specific policy, but many insurance plans include conventional hormone replacement therapy. While bioidentical options may be viewed as holistic or progressive, which can lead to limited coverage, it's important to know that there are instances where insurance providers do cover essential hormones for men dealing with andropause or women going through menopause. The specifics of your coverage will depend on factors such as the type of hormone required and your gender.

Medicare Part A and Part B offer limited prescription drug coverage, which means hormone therapy is not covered, even for women in menopause. You will need a Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan to gain coverage for bioidentical hormones. You also have the option of private insurance that includes these prescriptions. In some situations, Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plans may cover them, so checking your plan’s list of approved medications is vital.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) usually cover traditional hormone replacement therapy, but they may not cover bioidentical treatments. It’s essential to check the list of approved prescriptions to see if your treatment is eligible.

If your insurance does not cover bioidentical hormone therapy, there are still affordable options available. AB Hormone offers in-house payment plans, allowing you to pay in three installments. A credit card will be required to keep on file for this option. Please note that payment plans that extend beyond 30 days may be sent to collections.

Your insurance plan may cover your laboratory services. If not, we offer a discount program through CPL (Clinical Pathology Laboratory), providing substantial savings on lab tests. We generally advise patients to contact the number on the back of their insurance card to verify whether they allow access to out-of-network providers and if they cover a comprehensive set of lab tests at 100%.
