$30/week copay OR self inject?

[GeriatricOne]

I am paying $30/week to the Low-T Center. On one hand it seems cheap in that everything is managed for me. I get face time with a doctor (albeit brief) to discuss whatever (usually nothing). Pretty young girls inject and rub my butt (grins). I show up and leave in 15 minutes. Done!

I do not mind paying a little more for the convenience, but at $120/mo am I wasting money?

What do you guys that self inject typically pay per month for doctor visits and scripts?

Sounds like a waste. I have been self injecting since starting TRT two years ago. I have already saved $2,880 more dollars than you will if you don't switch. One thing to take into consideration is the long term cost of TRT.

You see a doctor regular for blood work and all...?

i would not go to the doc for injects if he paid me $30 per trip!

[GeriatricOne]

No, I mean do you go to the doctor for regular blood work and scripts, or manage all that on your own?

[GeriatricOne]

Opps! Sorry, thought you were the same replier, but I see now your cameras are different colors (winks)

Simple mathematics, LOL!

Even w/o insurance a vial of Test Cyp only costs $65 for 10ml/200mg a ml. All you need is 3 vials for a year of TRT.

Yes. It is all through my doctor. Regular blood work. I told him I could do the injections myself and he was fine with it. Some of his patients cannot do their own injections and come in once a week.

shoot the doc i have i only have to go to one time per year for my physical. the rest of the time he emails me my lab requisition and i take it to labcorps and get blood drawn. then he calls me with results and emails me the pdf. scripts are called in to the pharmacy of my choice.

all this only costs me $700.00 per year.. (plus copay for scripts).. pretty good deal IMO. i also get all my needles from the pharmacy for free.

Thanks guys! I'm going to post for Dr. recommendations in Dallas/Fort Worth...

I do my own injections and the doc does blood work ever 6 months or 1 yr depending on what I want/need.
