Forms, Prescriptions & Insurance – Understanding Testosterone Therapy Access
After understanding what compounded testosterone is and why it can be more effective for some patients, the next step is learning how to access it. Many patients are surprised to discover just how many formulation options are available to them
What forms of testosterone can be compounded?
At Advanced Scripts and similar compounding pharmacies, testosterone can be customized into various delivery methods. These include:
- Topical creams or gels applied to the skin
- Sublingual troches that dissolve under the tongue for rapid absorption
- Injectable forms, such as testosterone cypionate
- Pellets, which are inserted under the skin for long-term hormone delivery
Each method offers different benefits depending on how your body absorbs hormones and your lifestyle preferences.
Do I need a prescription for compounded testosterone?
Yes. Because testosterone is a controlled substance, a valid prescription is required. Your healthcare provider will assess your symptoms, run lab tests, and determine if testosterone therapy is appropriate. If compounded testosterone is recommended, your provider will work closely with a compounding pharmacy to ensure accurate dosing and formulation.
Can I use insurance for compounded testosterone?
Coverage for compounded medications varies. Many insurance companies do not cover compounded therapies, especially when there is a commercial alternative available. However, you can often use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for the medication. Advanced Scripts provides detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement.
