[QUOTE="Drug350, post: 241573, member: 44769"] The "normal numbers" I posted above with regard to "Total Testosterone 200 - 745 NGDL" are what my Urologist and the hospital system uses, along with most insurance companies. We all know 200 NGDL is on the very low side and TRT clinics would easily put you on TRT with numbers in the low 200's. Virtually every other government board considers 350 - 900 NGDL more in line with normal, but insurance is all about "maximizing profits". My doctor had me do 3 testosterone blood tests, before 9 AM, in order to have insurance cover TRT. She said if any one of them came back above 200 NGDL, insurance would deny covering TRT and she'd have to fight with them. My 3 tests came back at 169, 182, 196 NGDL, along with my free Testosterone and Bioavailable Testosterone numbers right at the bottom threshold so insurance is covering my TRT, blood tests, and hopefully ancillaries (aromasin, letrozole, HCG, etc...).
