Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover BioTE bioidentical pellet therapy?▾
Coverage varies by plan, and many plans do not cover hormone pellet therapy. Call your insurer and ask specifically about hormone pellet insertion. Office visits and lab work are more often covered.
How much does BioTE pellet therapy cost out of pocket?▾
Pricing varies by practice. Contact our office at (713) 485-4302 for Preferred Gynecology's current cash-pay pricing and what it includes.
What does the BioTE pellet insertion fee typically include?▾
Ask our office for an itemized explanation of what the quoted price covers, such as the visit, the pellets and the insertion, and whether lab work or follow-up visits are billed separately.
Is there a way to make pellet therapy more affordable if insurance doesn't cover it?▾
Ask our office about cash-pay pricing. If your plan declines coverage for pellets, check whether it covers the hormone testing and visits that go with treatment.
How often will I need pellet insertions, and how does that affect total annual cost?▾
Most patients need pellet insertion every three to five months, so two to four insertions a year. Multiply the per-insertion price by your expected number of insertions to estimate annual cost, and compare with the yearly cost of pills or patches including copays.
Do follow-up visits cost extra, or are they included in the pellet fee?▾
Ask our office whether follow-up visits and labs are included in the quoted price or billed separately. Visits and labs may be covered by your insurance even when pellets are not.
Is lab work covered by insurance even if the pellet insertion is not?▾
Often, yes. Hormone labs are commonly covered as diagnostic testing even when a plan does not cover the pellet procedure. Confirm with your insurer before your visit.
