About TESTOSTERONE and its cost

What is this medication? Testosterone is a prescription medication primarily used as a hormone replacement therapy for males who have low or no natural testosterone production. This condition, known as hypogonadism, can result from issues with the testicles, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus. The medication helps to supplement the body's levels to reach a normal range, which supports the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics, muscle mass, bone density, and overall energy levels. In addition to treating androgen deficiency, healthcare providers may prescribe testosterone for other specific medical purposes. These can include treating certain types of breast cancer in women or addressing delayed puberty in adolescent males. It is also used as part of gender-affirming hormone therapy for transgender men. This medication is available in several forms, such as topical gels, skin patches, intramuscular injections, and oral capsules, depending on the patient's needs and the doctor's recommendation.

TESTOSTERONE is made by AbbVie. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford TESTOSTERONE?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for TESTOSTERONE?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But AbbVie has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover TESTOSTERONE?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Male Hypogonadism?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
