Dispensing Testosterone: Has the law changed?

[get'n there]

I finally got my 10 mil bottle from Walgreens.

Took way too much effort. It cost me 5 days Too much Communication With pharmacist And the corporate office.

It appears that somebody somewhere Is trying to push One mil bottles. The doctors get more money if they get kicked back. Pharmacy gets more money especially If you have a coupon and use it. In the manufacturers get more money.

It would have cost twice as much to get 10 Each 1 mil bottles.

CVS Pharmacist Told me Insurance companies Don't want patience to have more than one ml per week???

This said Thanks to those who said they were still getting 10 mil bottles & from Walgreens.

I just picked up my prescription for 10ml of testosterone cypionate. No problem getting it. Insurance (Medicare Advantage) even paid for it.....$5 copay.

It does seem odd that in the days of legalized recreational use of pot that we still have restrictions on testosterone.

The bigger threat, if there is one, to the TRT industry, is going to be the expiry of state covid telehealth waivers.

This world that we've become used to where you can set up a virtual call with an out of state provider, get blood tests ordered, get test prescribed, may basically go away soon for many states.

Why do you believe this will happen?

Already happening

State by state, some patients are losing telehealth access to doctors

Telehealth access has been rolling back gradually and quietly over the past few months as pandemic-era emergency health orders have lapsed.

Also, another factor that may weigh into this, after the Dobbs ruling we are likely to see states rethink their out of state telehealth rules.
