About Biote
Biote trains other people's clinics to do hormone pellet therapy. It is not a chain. About 9,200 certified practitioners work out of roughly 5,300 independently owned practices, and Biote's own annual report compares the arrangement to a franchise: the company supplies the two-day certification course, the dosing software, access to compounded pellets and a supplement line, and the individual clinic bills the patient. If you book with a Biote provider in your city, you are booking with a separate business that pays Biote for training and supply. The one exception is the Irving headquarters. The building on West Walnut Hill Lane holds the corporate offices, the call center and the National Training Center, and it also holds a working patient clinic operating as Resurge under Kris Wusterhausen, DO. Trainee clinicians perform supervised insertions there on real patients, which is how the certification course ends. The therapy is bioidentical estradiol or testosterone pressed into a pellet and placed under the skin of the upper buttocks during a short office visit. Dosing comes out of comprehensive lab work and a symptom questionnaire run through Biote's clinical decision software. Pellets dissolve over three to six months, so most patients return two to four times a year, and Biote's own FAQ warns it can take two insertions before the effect settles. The company counted around 400,000 active patients at the end of 2025 and says its providers have performed roughly 6 million procedures since 2012. About 85 percent of those procedures were for women. The pellets are compounded rather than FDA-approved, and they come from 503B outsourcing facilities including Biote's own subsidiary Asteria Health. That subsidiary recalled estradiol and testosterone pellets shipped between May 2025 and January 2026 over possible metal particulate, which the FDA classified as a Class II recall in February 2026. Compounded hormone pellets are also a contested category: a 2020 National Academies review found the evidence does not support them being as safe or effective as approved hormone products, and ACOG advises against prescribing them routinely where an approved formulation exists. Biote does not do stem cell, exosome or PRP work of any kind.

Biote publishes no patient prices, because it does not bill patients. Each certified clinic sets its own fee for an insertion and its own retail price on Biote supplements. Expect to get a number from the individual practice, not from Biote, and expect compounded pellets to sit outside insurance coverage.
Pricing is indicative and set by each clinic. Confirm the final cost directly before treatment.
