-
Does the clinic accept or require insurance payment?Currently, we do not accept insurance payments or co-payments. However, your insurance may be utilized for tests that will help ensure the best care possible, such as laboratory work or imaging studies if needed. Insurance can also be used for obtaining prescription medications. The prices listed on our website, or discussed with our team, reflect the costs of services rendered by ALCAZAR MD. You do not need to have insurance to book an appointment with us.
-
Does everyone qualify for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)?Your diagnosis of low testosterone will be based on many factors, including lab results, symptoms, physical exam, and other medical conditions you may have. While low testosterone is vastly underdiagnosed and we are strong advocates for this treatment, not everyone will meet diagnostic criteria for the treatment. Other treatments or lifestyle modifications will be discussed if applicable.
-
Are labs required for all visits?Yes, all visits require labs within 30 days of your appointment, and must be resulted before the appointment. - Those with PPO insurance, will be sent to Labcorp. https://www.labcorp.com/labs-and-appointments - Those who are self pay, I would recommend going to Any Lab Test Now: - First appointment: https://www.anylabtestnow.com/test-finder/?search=Testosterone%20Panel%20(Pre-Therapy) - Follow up: https://www.anylabtestnow.com/tests/testosterone-panel-continued-therapy/ - Those with HMO insurance, can ask their designated PCP to order labs on their behalf, or use the Any Lab Test Now links.
-
Are there other non-injectable testosterone delivery methods?Yes, there are other methods of delivery such as lozenges or creams. However, we feel that these have lower efficacy than injections. Myo Men’s Health does not prescribe non-injectable testosterone as part of TRT.
-
Where is the testosterone medication made?We strongly believe the quality of the medication you consume matters. Purchasing medications from friends or acquaintances often result in medications manufactured in other countries, which can have impurities, be falcified, or can be dangerous. The pharmacies we recommend, and will transmit orders to, are US based with medications made in the USA. This makes receiving safe, trackable medication fast and easy.
-
Is fertility affected by TRT? What about testicular size?TRT will impact your quantity of sperm and testicular size when starting therapy. This can be exacerbated those who do not dose the medication as prescribed or have utilized anabolic steroids. However, supplementing TRT with the prescription medication Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) can aid with maintaining fertility and testicular size. This medication is another hormone naturally produced in the body. Our emphasis on preserving fertility and testicular health sets ALCAZAR MD apart from other online and local prescribers that don’t incorporate HCG into TRT regimens when appropriate.
-
Will Dr. Alcazar provide injection teaching?Absolutely, I am happy to provide teaching for the injections as we want you to always practice hygienic injection practices.
-
Are ED medications covered by insurance?Often, these medications are not covered, or poorly covered by insurance companies. There are clever ways to work around the issue but can be labor-intensive. The commonly suggested course of action is to download the ‘GoodRx’ app, and they offer the medications at very reasonable prices in local pharmacies.
-
How does communication work between me and my doctor?You can email drgalcazar@alcazarmd.com any questions you have. Texting at 512-537-4898 is reserved for those trying to set up new appointments.
