    Is all TRT considered anti-aging?

    My insurance says the following is excluded from coverage:

    Medications used for cosmetic purposes or to enhance athletic performance (i.e. anabolic steroids and minoxidil
    lotion, retin A (tretinoin) for aging skin). Also excluded are drugs, oral or Injectable, used to slow or reverse
    normal aging processes (i.e. growth hormone, testosterone, etc.).

    Does this mean that at 33 if I have low test I wouldn't be covered? I not sure if low test can be considered a different problem than "normal aging". I've only been to my Dr. twice and not at all for 2-3 years. I don't want to go and try to get a test if my insurance won't even cover it. Are the tests expensive?

    No, if you go to a doctor/Endocrinologist and he said you NEED this it's covered. Not 100% guaranteed but if it's a decent insurance they will cover.

    It depends too, my insurance only pays for a 30 day supply, but my test lasts me 10 weeks
