Short answer: Magnum Health’s ongoing TRT program costs $180 per month for patients who qualify for treatment. The ongoing monthly cost includes medication, shipping, supplies, follow-up appointments, follow-up lab testing, and ongoing monitoring.
Testosterone replacement therapy cost can be difficult to compare. Some clinics advertise only the medication price. Others include provider visits, lab testing, injection supplies, and shipping. A lower initial price does not always mean a lower total cost.
This guide explains common charges and provides a transparent breakdown of Magnum Health’s TRT program.

How much does TRT cost per month?
Several factors affect TRT cost per month, including:
- The treatment format
- The provider’s care model
- Required lab work
- Services included in the monthly price
Some practices charge separately for visits and tests. Others combine medication and ongoing care in one monthly program.
When comparing prices, determine whether the advertised amount covers:
- The prescribed medication
- Provider consultations and follow-up visits
- Initial and follow-up laboratory testing
- Injection supplies
- Medication shipping
- Dose adjustments and ongoing clinical support
- Any membership costs
Separate fees can make the actual monthly or annual cost higher than the advertised medication price.
What does TRT cost at Magnum Health?
Magnum Health’s testosterone replacement therapy program is $180 per month for patients who qualify for treatment.
The $180 monthly price includes:
- Provider-prescribed testosterone medication
- Medication shipping
- Injection supplies
- Follow-up appointments
- Follow-up laboratory testing
- Ongoing treatment monitoring
The initial TRT laboratory panel is a separate, one-time $200 charge. It provides clinical information for the initial evaluation. Paying for lab work does not guarantee a prescription. A provider prescribes testosterone only when treatment is clinically appropriate.
If a patient completes the $200 panel and then begins treatment, the panel and first month total $380. The ongoing program then costs $180 per month unless published pricing changes.
Why is the initial TRT laboratory panel separate?
Low energy, reduced sex drive, and changes in strength or body composition can have many causes. A provider reviews symptoms, medical history, and testosterone test results before deciding whether treatment may be appropriate.
The Endocrine Society recommends diagnosing testosterone deficiency only when symptoms occur with consistently low levels confirmed by repeat morning fasting tests. Our guide to blood tests before TRT explains why a provider may review total testosterone, free testosterone, blood counts, and other tests.
Keeping the initial panel separate allows the evaluation to occur before a patient commits to monthly treatment. It also makes the ongoing monthly price easier to understand.
What can make TRT more expensive?
Medication format
Testosterone injections, topical medications, oral products, and implanted pellets have different prices. Treatment options vary based on medical needs, availability, and the provider’s care model.
Laboratory fees
Some programs bill follow-up lab testing separately. Ask which tests are required, how often they are needed, and whether they are included in the monthly cost. Magnum Health patients can also review our guide to TRT lab monitoring.
Consultation and follow-up charges
A program may advertise a low medication price but charge separately for consultations, follow-up appointments, or prescription renewals.
Shipping and supplies
For telehealth treatment, determine whether shipping, needles, syringes, alcohol pads, and other necessary supplies are included.
Additional medications or services
Not every patient needs an additional medication or service. Speak to your provider regarding additional medications.
Does a lower TRT price mean better value?
The lowest price does not always provide the best value. Providing medication is only one part of care. A responsible program also includes an evaluation, follow-up testing, symptom review, and treatment adjustments when needed.
The American Urological Association recommends follow-up testing during treatment. Ongoing monitoring helps the provider assess the response and decide whether the plan should change.
Current FDA labeling information also addresses blood-pressure increases with testosterone products. This makes regular clinical follow-up important.
When comparing programs, look for clear answers to three questions:
- What is included in the advertised price?
- What will I pay before treatment can begin?
- What additional charges could arise during follow-up care?
A transparent program should answer all three before you enroll.
How insurance coverage affects TRT cost
Magnum Health is a self-pay practice and does not accept insurance. It does not bill insurance for the TRT program. Insurance plans, copays, deductibles, and prior-authorization rules therefore do not change Magnum Health’s published price.
Eligible HSA and FSA payment methods are accepted. Patients must confirm whether an expense qualifies and what documents they need with their plan administrator.

Questions to ask before choosing a TRT provider
- Is the initial laboratory evaluation included or separate?
- Are follow-up labs included?
- Are provider visits and dose adjustments included?
- Are shipping and injection supplies included?
- Are there enrollment fees or long-term contracts?
- Who reviews the laboratory results and manages treatment?
- How can I contact the clinical team if I have questions?
These questions help patients compare the full cost and level of care instead of the medication price alone.
