Biote cost
Biote publishes no patient prices, and the reason is structural: it does not bill patients at all. Each certified clinic sets its own fee for an insertion and its own retail price on Biote supplements, so the number you pay comes from the individual practice, not from Biote. Expect compounded pellets to sit outside insurance coverage wherever you go.

How Biote prices treatment
| Treatment or service | Cost | Billed |
|---|---|---|
| Pellet insertionSet by the certified clinic you attend, not by Biote. Prices vary widely between practices in the same city, so it is worth calling two. | On consultation | per insertion |
| Biote supplementsRetail price set by the clinic. Ask whether they are optional or built into the programme. | On consultation | per month |
| Lab work and follow-upBilled by the clinic. Ask how many panels a year the protocol expects. | On consultation | per visit |
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.
What the price includes
Included

Billed separately
- Anything the clinic chooses to bill separately, which commonly means labs and supplements
Insurance, financing and payment
Insurance
Compounded hormone pellets generally sit outside insurance coverage. Some clinics can bill the office visit or the lab work to insurance even when the pellet itself is cash pay, so ask that question specifically.
Financing
Any financing is the individual clinic's, not Biote's. Ask the practice, not the brand.
Biote treatment costs and what affects the price
Biote does not set a single nationwide price for hormone pellet therapy. Because treatment is provided through independently owned certified practices, the amount a patient pays can vary by clinic, treatment plan and the services included.
The total cost may depend on the type and dose of hormone pellet, the number of pellets required, laboratory testing, the consultation, the insertion procedure and follow-up appointments. Ask the provider for a complete cost breakdown rather than comparing only the initial pellet insertion price.
What should you ask before paying for Biote treatment?
Before starting treatment, ask the clinic whether the quoted price includes the initial consultation, hormone testing, pellet insertion, follow-up appointments and future pellet replacements. Also ask how often laboratory monitoring is expected and whether those tests are billed separately.
Because pellets are designed to remain effective for several months, ask about the expected annual cost rather than only the cost of the first insertion. This gives you a clearer picture of the ongoing expense.
Biote cost comparison between providers
Prices can differ between Biote-certified practices because each practice establishes its own fees. If you are considering more than one provider, compare the complete treatment package, including consultations, laboratory work, insertion fees, follow-up care and supplements.
A lower initial price does not necessarily mean a lower overall treatment cost if laboratory testing, follow-up appointments or additional services are billed separately.
Are Biote supplements included in the treatment cost?
Biote supplements may be offered separately from hormone pellet treatment. The individual clinic determines the retail price and whether supplements are recommended as part of its treatment programme. Ask whether any supplements included in your treatment plan are optional and whether they are included in the quoted price.
What is included in a Biote price quote?
A price quote can vary between providers. Before proceeding, ask for the cost of:
- Initial consultation
- Required blood tests and laboratory work
- Hormone pellet
- Pellet insertion procedure
- Follow-up appointments
- Repeat laboratory testing
- Future pellet insertions
- Recommended supplements
This can help you understand the full cost of Biote hormone pellet therapy before beginning treatment.
Is Biote hormone pellet therapy covered by insurance?
Compounded hormone pellets are generally an out-of-pocket expense. However, individual clinics may handle consultations, office visits or laboratory testing differently. Ask the provider which parts of your care can potentially be billed to insurance and which parts require cash payment.
How often will you pay for Biote treatment?
Biote states that hormone pellets generally last several months, meaning patients may need repeat insertions during the year. The exact schedule depends on the individual treatment plan. When asking about cost, request an estimate for the expected cost over 12 months rather than looking only at the first treatment.
