How Much Does Biote Cost in Beckley, WV?

BioTE pellets are small, dime-sized pellets made of natural plant-based hormones that are inserted under the skin. These pellets are designed to help balance the hormones in both men and women, particularly in those that experiencing hormone imbalances due to menopause, andropause, adrenal fatigue, and/or thyroid disorders.
 
Once inserted, the pellets release hormones into the bloodstream gradually and steadily. Each pellet contains a customized dosage of hormones, based on your unique needs as identified through laboratory tests and a comprehensive medical assessment. 
 
The hormones in BioTE pellets mimic those naturally produced in the body and help regulate a broad range of physical and mental functions, including bone health, muscle mass, libido, menstrual cycles, mood, energy levels, and sleep patterns. 

The cost of the BioTE may vary depending on a few different factors such as the location of the clinic, the expertise of the practitioner, and the specific needs of the patient. 
 
Typically, the cost of the BioTE procedure ranges from $600-$1000 and can last for up to six months. This price range is because every BioTE procedure is customized to meet the needs of the patient, and the pellets used in the procedure are specifically formulated to target their health concerns. 

Good candidates for BioTE hormone therapy are those that demonstrate the following characteristics:
 
– Age. BioTE hormone therapy is generally recommended for men and women over 30 years of age as this is when our bodies naturally begin to decrease hormone production, leading to a higher likelihood of hormone imbalance symptoms.

– Commitment. BioTE hormone therapy involves regular appointments and follow-up care to monitor hormone levels and ensure optimal results. Candidates should be committed to following the treatment plan and regularly attending appointments with their healthcare provider.

– Health Status. Good candidates for BioTE typically have no underlying health issues that would cause hormone imbalances. Before starting BioTE therapy, your healthcare provider will perform hormone-level testing to ensure that you are a good candidate for the treatment. 

– Hormonal Imbalance. BioTE hormone therapy is designed for people with hormone imbalances such as low testosterone and isn’t recommended for those with hormonal-based cancers or who are experiencing any severe hormonal disorders.

– Symptoms. This includes low libido, fatigue, depression, irritability, weight gain, and decreased mental clarity. 

BioTE therapy is considered to be a form of hormone replacement therapy and is often covered by insurance as long as it’s prescribed by a licensed medical professional. 
 
However, the specifics of coverage vary depending on the individual’s insurance plan, as some insurance companies may fully cover the cost of BioTE pellet therapy, while others may only cover a portion of the cost. 
 
Patients may need to meet certain criteria to be eligible for coverage, such as proving a history of hormone-related health concerns. 
 
In addition to this, some insurance companies will only cover BioTE pellet therapy if other forms of hormone therapy haven’t been successful and/or aren’t recommended for the patient. 
 
You need to check in with your insurance provider before scheduling your BioTE pellet therapy, as your provider can help explain what portion, if any, of the treatment cost will be covered by insurance. If it’s not covered, you can then discuss alternative payment options with your chosen healthcare provider.
