SHEET 01

The first-year cost worksheet

Ask for a written, itemized quote. Compare the same period and check what is bundled before adding anything twice. An advertised starting price is not a personal quote.

Your clinic quote, in one place
Cost to confirm	Amount / included?	How often?
Initial clinician evaluation	________	________
Starting lab work	________	________
Medication and dispensing	________	________
Membership or service fees	________	________
Repeat tests and visits	________	________
Needles, other supplies, and shipping	________	________
Other required charges	________	________

First-year estimate: one-time costs + monthly costs × 12 + other charges for that year. For a shorter supply cycle, ask how many payments occur in a year.

Try the private, in-browser cost planner or read our CoreAge Rx cost research.

SHEET 02

Twelve questions worth bringing

You do not have to know the answers before the appointment. The point is to leave with answers you understand.

What evaluation and testing do you require before deciding whether TRT is appropriate?
Who will assess me, and are they licensed to provide care where I live?
Which tests are included in the advertised price, and which are billed separately?
What is the exact medication and formulation being proposed? Is it FDA-approved or compounded?
If a compounded preparation is prescribed, why is it appropriate for my needs and which pharmacy dispenses it?
What does the full first year cost, including medication, visits, labs, supplies, and shipping?
How often are follow-up visits and monitoring needed, and who reviews the results?
What risks, alternatives, and effects on fertility should I discuss before deciding?
How do I contact the care team, and what should I do about urgent concerns?
When am I charged, and what happens if the clinician does not approve treatment?
Does the plan renew automatically, and how do I cancel future charges?
What happens if treatment changes, medication is unavailable, or I move to another state?

Read our guide to testing after 50. Symptoms alone do not establish a diagnosis or eligibility.

SHEET 03

The before-you-pay check

Save the current price, what it includes, and the date of the quote.
Read the medical evaluation requirements before assuming a prescription is available.
Keep the renewal, cancellation, and refund terms together. Ask about any conflicting wording.
Confirm the dispensing pharmacy and the medication details with the provider.
Know where to send questions after the visit. A marketing page is not a care plan.
