Testosterone gel - insurance won't pay

Assuming you live in the U.S., you can obtain a GoodRx prescription drug card for free and obtain generic AndroGel 1.62% for as low as $41 per month copayment for 2 pumps per day depending what pharmacy you choose.

GoodRx does require a prescription but there is no approval and denial process involved.

I used testosterone gel for years until it completely distorted my blood count. It caused a dangerously high RBC, hematocrit and hemoglobin count. It also depleted my iron stores too. Be careful as it can set you up for some severe health issues if your doctor doesn’t perform a CBC and testosterone level at least every 6 months.

Thanks - yes, I have a GoodRx card and have priced out my copay using that approach. I'm at 3 pumps per day so it's a more expensive than your estimate. Using GoodRx I'll essentially be paying per month what I had been paying for a 3-month supply using CVS Caremark with my previous employer. I don't have any cardiac risk factors, but I get all blood work needed between my urologist and my cardiologist.
