Most TRT Medications Are
Covered by Insurance.
Unlike telehealth companies that charge $150+/month for testosterone medication, we send prescriptions to your local pharmacy — where your insurance can bring the cost to $0–30/month. We handle the paperwork.
Important: How Insurance Works at Revive
Revive is a cash-pay clinic for office visits. We do not bill your insurance for office visits — you pay Revive directly. We provide itemized receipts with CPT and ICD-10 codes that you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement toward your out-of-network deductible, but reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan.
Lab testing: By default, lab panels are billed at our cash rate ($149–$217). Standard and Complete plan members in Year 2+ of treatment can add our Lab Insurance Coordination service for $35/month. With this add-on, our team handles the ICD-10 coding, insurance-specific requisitions, prior authorization, and claim follow-up so your follow-up labs are billed to your insurance instead. The add-on fee covers coordination — it does not guarantee coverage. You remain responsible for any copay, coinsurance, or deductible your plan requires.
Medication: We prescribe FDA-approved generic testosterone to your local pharmacy, where your pharmacy benefit typically covers it at $0–30/month. We handle prior authorization paperwork for you.
Seniors & Veterans: Patients age 60+ and veterans/active military receive $15/month off their Standard or Complete plan membership.
Prescription Coverage Assistance
in 4 Simple Steps
With all Revive plans, we handle prior authorizations and paperwork so your insurance covers your medication at the pharmacy.
Physician Prescribes
Your licensed physician writes your prescription for FDA-approved testosterone (not compounded or proprietary formulations).
Sent to Your Pharmacy
We send the prescription to whichever pharmacy you choose — Costco, Walgreens, CVS, your neighborhood pharmacy, or any other.
We Handle the Paperwork
Our care team coordinates with your pharmacy to ensure your insurance is billed correctly. We handle prior authorizations, appeals, and paperwork.
You Pay Your Copay
Pick up your medication at the pharmacy and pay your insurance copay — typically $0–30/month for testosterone. That's it.
The Real Cost of Testosterone
Therapy: Revive vs. Everyone Else
Telehealth companies look cheap until you realize you're paying full price for medication that insurance would cover at a real pharmacy.
* Estimates based on Standard plan Year 2+ costs (2 visits/year). Revive visit fees are paid directly to Revive (cash-pay). Lab fees are cash-pay by default; Standard and Complete Year 2+ members can add Lab Insurance Coordination ($35/mo) to have labs billed through insurance. Without the add-on, patients may submit itemized receipts toward their out-of-network deductible; reimbursement is not guaranteed. Medication costs reflect pharmacy copay with insurance. Telehealth estimates include medication shipped by mail at typical market rates.

Does Insurance Cover Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro & Zepbound?
GLP-1 coverage is more complicated than TRT coverage — it depends on your diagnosis, which specific drug is prescribed, and whether your employer opted into anti-obesity medication (AOM) benefits. Here's the overview by carrier.
The key distinction: GLP-1s for Type 2 diabetes (Ozempic, Mounjaro) are covered broadly. GLP-1s for weight loss require an AOM rider most employers don't have. GLP-1s for cardiovascular risk or sleep apnea are covered on most plans — even without weight loss coverage.
T2D: ✓ covered · Obesity: AOM rider required · CV risk: ✓ likely covered

Common Insurance Questions
Does Revive accept my insurance for office visits? +
Revive is a cash-pay clinic — our office visit fees and lab fees are paid directly to us. However, the key insurance benefit is on the medication side: we prescribe to your local pharmacy where your insurance covers the medication. This is where the biggest savings happen — often $100+/month compared to telehealth mail-order pricing.
What if my insurance denies the prescription? +
If your insurance requires prior authorization or initially denies coverage, our team handles the appeal process. We submit the medical documentation (including your lab results showing low testosterone) to support the claim. Most denials are resolved within 1–2 weeks. In the rare case coverage isn't available, generic testosterone is still affordable at $30–80/month cash price.
Why can't telehealth companies use my insurance for medication? +
Most telehealth TRT companies use their own compounding pharmacies or mail-order services. These proprietary compounds are not FDA-approved generics, so insurance won't cover them. They charge $150–250/month for the same active ingredient you could get at Walgreens for $0–30 with insurance. At Revive, we prescribe standard FDA-approved testosterone that any pharmacy can fill.
Is testosterone therapy covered by Medicare? +
Yes, Medicare Part D typically covers testosterone prescriptions when medically necessary (confirmed by lab work showing low testosterone levels). Copays under Medicare Part D are usually very low. Our team can help verify your specific Medicare coverage before your first visit.
Can I use my FSA or HSA to pay for Revive? +
Office visits, lab fees, and prescription medications are generally eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement. Monthly membership fees are generally not HSA/FSA eligible. Medications from compounding pharmacies may sometimes be paid for with an HSA card, but this varies by administrator. We provide itemized receipts for submission — consult your HSA/FSA administrator to confirm eligibility for your specific plan.
Can I submit Revive's charges to my insurance for reimbursement? +
Revive is a cash-pay clinic and does not bill insurance for office visits. For lab work, Standard and Complete plan members in Year 2+ can add our Lab Insurance Coordination service ($35/mo) so our team handles billing your labs through your insurance directly. Without the add-on, we provide itemized receipts with CPT procedure codes and ICD-10 diagnosis codes that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement toward your out-of-network deductible. Whether you receive any reimbursement — and how much — depends entirely on your specific insurance plan. Some patients receive partial reimbursement, and some receive none.
How much do I save compared to telehealth in Year 2 and beyond? +
Year 2+ on our Standard plan costs approximately $1,452/year (~$121/month all-in) with insurance covering your medications. Typical telehealth TRT runs $2,160–3,360/year when you factor in their medication costs. That's a savings of $700–1,900/year — and you get real physician care, real labs, and real monitoring instead of a video chat.
