Thread: Pellet cost? My HRT doc bills me 100$ per pellet. 14 pellets is 1400$ plus the procedure!

I like the nice level release of pellets. No ups or downs. Don't care much for the implant procedure but it is painless. But dang that cost. 1500 every three months! even with insurance I have to meet the deductable so the first two or three implants are all on my wallet. So whats your pellet cost?

my buddy - is thinking of going back on prescribed cypionate injections for paperwork reasons. but then use a test deca or undeconate ester. The much longer half life provides for more level release. Does any american compounding or drug companies offer a pure test deca or test undeconate compound for prescription?

WTF? Why would anyone pay that much for some stupid fucking testosterone pellets? That's called rape. I was offered this by my urologist for TRT but I didn't even entertain the idea - I went straight to test Cyp injections and have been happy ever since. Plus, a 10mL bottle of Watson test from CVS only cost me $20. You're getting fucked!

^^. Actually I didn't go STRAIGHT to test Cyp injections...I tried testim and androgel first. When that failed, I was then offered pellets or self injections.

I do a "90 day supply" (but it's really only 70 days)...my insurance will not allow me to do a 90-day supply at Walgreens, ONLY CVS (retarded, I know). Walgreens was like "oh, yeah if we had some, we could give you (4) 1mL vials for $30 and that would be a one month supply"....idiots....actually it's the insurance company who are the assholes here.

Two years ago my insurance picked up the cost. But now with the new health care law changes and higher deductibles its changed. I know the cost is crazy stupid high compared to injections. I was mostly curious in what other pellet users are paying. Of course I know T Cyp is cheap from the store.

I like pellet release theory. But dang that $1400 sure does hurt the working man.

nothing is "free".

They have AVEED now - it is test undec approved for use in the US - 5 shots per year - I do not know what the cost is and was never offered to me for TRT - even though my levels couldn't seem to stay consistent my Dr and insurance would just adjust my dose of cyp ($15/month) or 4 - 1ml vials - not quite a month....
