At Primal Mountain Medical, we publish two transparent monthly rates: our Foundation program (all-inclusive TRT — medication, supplies, labs, visits, physician oversight) is $229/month, or $206/month with a 6-month paid-in-full plan. Our Guided Optimization program, built for men who want a physician-supervised framework for TRT plus à la carte peptides or GLP-1s, is $129/month and includes labs and visits. Across the broader US market, quality physician-supervised TRT programs range from roughly $99 to $350 per month depending on what's included.
Some insurance plans cover TRT, but they often have strict and outdated qualification criteria, limited treatment options, and can still result in significant out-of-pocket costs. Many men find that a private, cash-pay clinic offers superior care and more transparent pricing.
At Primal Mountain Medical, the initial comprehensive lab panel is $49. This covers a full hormone panel including total testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, SHBG, LH, FSH, PSA, and a complete metabolic panel.
For men suffering from the daily effects of low testosterone, the investment in a quality TRT program is often transformative.
