Continuing Testosterone

To continue refills safely and on time, four ongoing requirements must stay current: a quarterly hormone check-in, labs every 6 months, an annual in-person visit, and an annual consent form.

⏰ Plan ahead: Many patients find their medication lasts 8–10 months, but this varies and we cannot estimate it for you. Please schedule your annual in-person visit at least 2–3 weeks before your medication runs out to avoid refill delays.

Ongoing Requirements

1
Complete your quarterly hormone check-in
Required every 3 months. A brief symptom check-in that helps us confirm your hormone status, dosing, and watch for early side effects.
Complete quarterly check-in
2
Labs completed within the last 6 months
Updated labs are required at least every 6 months. Choose the option that works best for you and let us know by emailing us at info@menopauselouisiana.com or messaging your provider in the portal.

Option 1 — Use insurance

We upload a lab requisition for you to take to an in-network lab. Confirm coverage first — we can't guarantee it. Please upload or message us results once available (faxed results don't always come through).

Option 2 — Cash-pay

Great for high-deductible plans. Usually under $150. We send the order and confirm the exact cost before you proceed. Results come directly to us when supported by the platform.

⚠️ Stop biotin 72 hours before labs. This includes anything labeled Biotin, B7, or Vitamin H.
