Between roughly $10 and five hundred, and the gap is almost entirely generic against brand name. A generic estradiol tablet can be under $10 for a ninety-day supply. The same treatment as a brand can pass five hundred a month. Patches sit in between at under $40 monthly with coverage.
Where the money goes
Atlanta pricing: three bills, and only two are from us
Three separate organizations can bill a Atlanta patient over one year of treatment, and only the consultation fee is set by us. The consultation is ours. Bloodwork, where it is needed, is billed by the laboratory. The prescription is filled and billed by a pharmacy, and that is where the widest variation sits.
Within the prescription, form and brand drive almost everything. Generic estradiol tablets can be under $10 for ninety days. Generic patches run under $40 a month with coverage and over $250 without. Vaginal creams sit between twenty-five and a hundred a month, and rings can reach five hundred without insurance while costing under thirty with it.
Compounded pellets are the outlier. They are not FDA-approved, no insurer covers them, and at roughly $1,500 a year they are the most expensive route to the same hormones. More on that in insurance and coverage, patches vs pills vs creams and estradiol for the rest of it. Anyone in Atlanta weighing pellets should price the same hormones as a generic patch or tablet first, because the extra money buys delivery, not a different hormone.
