The cost to treat low testosterone can vary greatly depending on the specific treatment plan. Some of the main factors that influence the cost include:
- Type of treatment - Options like testosterone replacement therapy, medications, and lifestyle changes have different associated costs. Testosterone therapy tends to be the most expensive option.
- Administration method - Testosterone can be administered as injections, gels, patches, pellets, or other methods. The costs per treatment can differ significantly.
- Duration of treatment - Low testosterone often requires long-term treatment, sometimes lifelong. The longer the duration, the higher the overall cost.
- Dosage and frequency - Higher testosterone doses needed to reach optimal levels usually cost more, as does more frequent administration.
- Doctor visits - Initial consultation and ongoing appointments to monitor progress come with additional fees.
- Insurance coverage - The out-of-pocket cost can be much lower for patients with health insurance that covers hormone therapies or other treatment approaches.
Typical costs for specific low testosterone treatments:
- Testosterone injections - Typically $30-60 per month supply plus $100-250 for doctor visits. May be fully or partially covered by insurance.
- Testosterone gels/creams - Can be $200-500 per month supply depending on dosage. Plus costs for doctor visits. Varies based on insurance coverage.
- Testosterone pellets - Inserted under the skin every 3-6 months. Around $350-650 per procedure. Plus doctor fees. May involve some insurance coverage.
- Clomiphene citrate - An oral medication used off-label to treat low testosterone in some men. Around $50-150 monthly. Costs for doctor visits extra.
- Lifestyle changes - Improving diet, exercise, sleep, stress, etc. Minimal costs but requires discipline. Health coaching can cost $100 per session.
The total first year cost of low testosterone treatment often ranges from around $2,000 up to $5,000 when including testosterone therapy, doctor visits to oversee treatment, and medications or supplements.
Ongoing annual costs after the first year range from $2,500-$10,000 on average per patient treated.
