[QUOTE="cappy, post: 142511, member: 38198"] I was one of Dr. John's guys, and I chose to move to Defy Medical. I'd like to share my observations with respect to cost, as the costs are considerably different. Testosterone Cypionate, 200mg/ml, 5ml, Empower: Cost through Dr. Crisler was $37.50 Cost through Defy is $68 Cost through Defy is 81% higher Anastrozole, 0.5mg capsules, Empower Cost through Dr. Crisler was $0.80 per capsule Cost through Defy is $2.00 per capsule Cost through Defy is 150% higher Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, 12,000IU vial, Empower Cost through Dr. Crisler was $75 Cost through Defy is $79 Cost through Defy is 5.3% higher Shipping Shipping cost through Dr. Crisler was a $30 flat fee Shipping cost through Defy is selectable. Standard shipping (8-11 days) is $12 Defy gives its patients the option of saving up to 60% on shipping costs Virtual Office Visits A VOV with Dr. Crisler was $75 A Follow-up consultation with a Dr. at Defy is $165 A Follow-up consultation with a PA at Defy is $60 A Follow-up consultation with an RN at Defy is $45 The cost of speaking with a Dr. at Defy is 120% higher than Dr. Crisler was, but there are lower cost options available that Dr. Crisler did not offer. I didn't appreciate what a good job Dr. Crisler did at holding down the cost of care. It's sad we've lost him. Lab Testing- A typical follow-up panel that Dr. John would prescribe for me (via LabCorp) included: 070001 Testosterone, Total, LC/MS - $21.03 082016 Sex Horm Binding Glob, Serum - $17.71 005009 CBC With Differential/Platelet - $6.33 322000 Comp. Metabolic Panel (14) - $15.19 140200 Estradiol, Sensitive - $22.76 004020 DHEA-Sulfate - $18.12 for the above, my cost (including $1.98 for the venipuncture) was $103.12. These costs were negotiated by my insurance, but they did not pay any of it. I paid this cost out-of-pocket. Through Defy, the costs of these tests are: 070001 Testosterone, Total, LC/MS - not available 082016 Sex Horm Binding Glob, Serum - $44.00 005009 CBC With Differential/Platelet - $15 322000 Comp. Metabolic Panel (14) - $15 140200 Estradiol, Sensitive - $38.00 004020 DHEA-Sulfate - $33 So, choosing the available tests a-la-carte totals $145.00, and that does not include 070001 Testosterone.
