Costs & Insurance
We all want better health care, but we can’t get there by doing things the same old way.
The same old way is the system you and I probably have now – your insurance company tells you what they will pay for – then they tell you to take it or leave it. And each year you’re asked to take less and leave more. You don’t get what you want or need – you get what the insurance company wants or needs you to have!
Insurance
Simply stated, the providers at Exceed Hormone Specialists created our practice because we refuse to treat anyone by these old rules anymore. These rules are wrong for the patient and wrong for the doctor. Ours is a patient centered practice. We are invested in you, your health, and your vitality. We want you, the patient, to be just as invested in your care as we are.
But we also want you to have choices, real treatment choices, that are best for you. We want to talk with you, evaluate you completely and work together to choose what’s best for you. We don’t think an insurance company should change that decision. The insurance company should not be in the room!
At Exceed Hormone Specialists our approach is professional, thorough, and high touch. Our treatment is effective, proven, and tailored for you. Our goal is your vitality – living, not just surviving. The remaining issue for you is cost.
Exceed Hormone Specialists does not accept insurance assignment, either private or government. We do not file insurance claims. We are a direct pay practice and payment is expected at the time of service. We do not have billing or pre-certification staff. All contact with insurance companies is your responsibility. We will provide you with all necessary paperwork so that you can request out of network reimbursement from your private insurance company. Patients report some insurance coverage for lab studies.
Costs
Evaluation & Start Up
The cost will vary based on each patient’s needs and their treatment plan. Every new hormone patient will require comprehensive lab work. The initial lab work cost varies from $250 (women) to $300 (men). Later lab testing is not as expensive. Some lab costs are covered by insurance if you utilize a lab draw station. Our office can provide you with a list of local options so you can confirm coverage with your insurance company. Once the lab results are received in our office, one of our providers will review them and decide if you are a candidate for pellet therapy. At that point, we can schedule your appointment.
The initial consult appointment is $400. This is almost an hour one-on-one with the provider where you will discuss your labs, your symptoms, and your history. The provider will then explain what to expect from pellet therapy and our protocols.
Ongoing Therapy for Women
After the initial treatment and after hormone balance is achieved, the average woman comes every three months for a new implant. Your initial investment in hormone therapy, wholeness, and vitality will be well worth the return.
Follow-up cost of reimplant visits are $400. When compared to the cost of drugs to treat the individual symptoms of hormone deficiency, pellets are very cost-effective. Continued evaluation and recommendations will insure maximum benefit from the therapy. If you desire a follow-up consultation, those appointments are $200 for 30 minutes.
Ongoing Therapy for Men
After initial evaluation and hormone balance, the average number of visits for men is 2 per year. Men who are active or heavier may require 3 visits. Combined with exercise and weight control, you will be feeling younger, healthier, more active, and motivated.
Cost of reimplant visits will vary and will average $500 – $1200. Continued evaluation and recommendations will ensure maximum benefit from the therapy. Some follow-up lab work is necessary each visit to maintain optimum performance and cost of lab will average $275.
Follow-up consultations are available $200 for 30 minutes.
