If you’re experiencing fatigue, low libido, brain fog, or mood changes, low testosterone (Low T) might be the culprit—and you’re not alone. Millions of American men deal with testosterone deficiency, yet many hesitate to seek treatment due to time constraints, privacy concerns, or simply not knowing where to start.

Here’s the good news: telehealth has made diagnosing and treating low testosterone easier, faster, and more accessible than ever before. In 2025, you can consult with a licensed healthcare provider, get tested, and receive a prescription for medications like Clomid (clomiphene citrate)—all from the comfort of your home.

But is online Low T treatment truly safe and legal? What do you need to know before scheduling that virtual appointment? This comprehensive guide breaks down everything you need to understand about telehealth testosterone treatment in 2025, including federal and state regulations, what to expect during your visit, and how to find a reputable provider.


Understanding Low Testosterone and Why It Matters

What Is Low Testosterone?

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, sex drive, sperm production, and mood regulation. As men age, testosterone levels naturally decline—typically about 1% per year after age 30.

Low testosterone (hypogonadism) occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough of this crucial hormone. According to the American Urological Association (AUA), Low T is clinically defined as having total testosterone levels below 300 ng/dL on two separate morning blood tests, accompanied by symptoms.

Common Symptoms of Low Testosterone

  • Persistent fatigue and low energy
  • Decreased sex drive (libido)
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Loss of muscle mass and increased body fat
  • Mood changes (irritability, depression, anxiety)
  • Difficulty concentrating (‘brain fog’)
  • Reduced bone density
  • Hair loss
  • Sleep disturbances

If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not imagining things—and you don’t have to live with them. Proper diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your quality of life.

Why Men Delay Getting Help

Despite how common Low T is, many men put off seeking treatment because:

  • Time constraints: Between work, family, and other obligations, finding time for multiple doctor visits feels impossible
  • Privacy concerns: Some men feel embarrassed discussing sexual health issues face-to-face
  • Access barriers: Not everyone lives near a men’s health specialist or endocrinologist
  • Cost uncertainty: Without knowing insurance coverage or pricing upfront, many delay care

This is precisely where telehealth shines—removing these traditional barriers to getting the help you need.

The Rise of Telehealth for Testosterone Treatment

How COVID-19 Changed Healthcare Access

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated telehealth adoption in unprecedented ways. In March 2020, federal regulators suspended certain restrictions to ensure patients could access care remotely during lockdowns. This included allowing healthcare providers to prescribe controlled substances—like testosterone injections—via telehealth without requiring an initial in-person examination.

These flexibilities were supposed to be temporary, but due to overwhelming demand and positive patient outcomes, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has extended these telehealth prescribing rules multiple times. As of December 2024, the DEA announced a third extension through December 31, 2025, maintaining the ability for qualified providers to prescribe testosterone and other controlled medications online.

What This Means for You in 2025

Right now, you can legally receive comprehensive Low T treatment entirely through telehealth in all 50 states. This includes:

  • Initial consultation with a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant
  • Lab test orders for testosterone levels and related health markers
  • Diagnosis based on your symptoms and test results
  • Prescription for appropriate medications (including controlled substances like testosterone or non-controlled options like Clomid)
  • Ongoing monitoring with follow-up virtual visits

The key is working with a legitimate, licensed telehealth provider that follows proper medical protocols—more on that later.


The Ryan Haight Act and Controlled Substances

Under normal circumstances, the Ryan Haight Act (passed in 2008) requires an in-person medical examination before a provider can prescribe controlled substances online. Testosterone is classified as a Schedule III controlled substance by the DEA because of its potential for abuse and dependence.

However, during public health emergencies and through subsequent extensions, the DEA has waived this in-person requirement. This means that, currently, qualified healthcare providers can prescribe testosterone via telehealth without you ever visiting an office—as long as they conduct a proper evaluation through video consultation.

What About Non-Controlled Medications Like Clomid?

Here’s an important distinction: Not all Low T treatments are controlled substances.

Clomiphene citrate (brand name Clomid) is commonly prescribed off-label for male hypogonadism and is not a controlled substance. The Ryan Haight Act’s in-person requirement never applied to non-controlled medications like Clomid, meaning they’ve been legally prescribable via telehealth all along.

Clomid works differently than testosterone replacement therapy. Instead of directly supplementing testosterone, it stimulates your body’s natural hormone production. This makes it particularly appealing for younger men or those concerned about fertility, since testosterone replacement can impair sperm production.

Bottom line: Telehealth providers can prescribe Clomid for Low T without any federal in-person visit requirements—and this has been true since before the pandemic.

What Happens After December 31, 2025?

The DEA’s current telehealth flexibilities are set to expire at the end of 2025. Federal regulators have proposed new rules that would create a ‘special telemedicine registration’ system for prescribing controlled substances online, though these regulations haven’t been finalized yet.

Industry experts anticipate the DEA will likely extend the current flexibilities again into 2026, given the continued demand for telehealth services and the lack of finalized alternative regulations. However, patients and providers should stay informed about potential changes.

What this means for you: If you’re considering telehealth Low T treatment, 2025 is definitely a good time to start. If you’re already in treatment, work with your provider to understand any potential transitions in care if federal rules change.


State-by-State Telehealth Rules: What You Need to Know

While federal DEA rules set the baseline for controlled substance prescribing, individual states have their own telehealth regulations. Let’s break down what you need to know in major states.

States With Minimal Restrictions

California, New York, New Hampshire, Delaware, and Texas have embraced telehealth prescribing with few additional barriers beyond federal requirements.

  • California doesn’t require an in-person visit for prescribing via telehealth, as long as the provider conducts an appropriate evaluation (which can be done virtually). California is even considering legislation (AB 1503) to explicitly allow asynchronous evaluations (questionnaire-based) for certain prescriptions.

  • New Hampshire recently removed its prior in-person exam requirement for controlled substances. As of August 2025, New Hampshire providers can prescribe Schedule II-IV medications entirely via telehealth, with patients only needing an in-person evaluation at least once every 12 months (and that can be with any licensed provider, not necessarily the prescriber).

  • Texas explicitly allows telehealth exams to satisfy the standard of care. Texas does require prescription monitoring program (PMP) checks for certain controlled substances, but doesn’t mandate in-person visits for initial or ongoing telehealth care.

States With Periodic In-Person Requirements

Some states have implemented ‘hybrid’ approaches that allow telehealth prescribing but require occasional face-to-face visits.

Alabama permits telehealth treatment but requires an in-person visit within 12 months if you’ve had more than four telehealth visits for the same condition. This in-person visit can be with a collaborating local provider if your telehealth doctor practices out-of-state.

Georgia takes a more stringent approach, requiring an initial in-person examination before establishing a telehealth relationship, plus annual attempts at in-person follow-ups. However, this can sometimes be satisfied through a local provider referral.

States With Provider Authority Restrictions

Beyond visit requirements, some states limit which healthcare professionals can prescribe testosterone.

Florida allows nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) to prescribe controlled substances, but they must work under physician supervision. Florida recently expanded telehealth prescribing for Schedule III-V drugs but still prohibits Schedule II prescribing via telehealth (with specific exceptions).

Georgia doesn’t allow NPs to prescribe Schedule II controlled substances (including testosterone) at all—only physicians can prescribe testosterone in Georgia. However, Georgia NPs can prescribe Clomid since it’s not a controlled substance.

Why State Rules Matter for Your Care

The key takeaway: Your telehealth provider must be licensed in your state and must follow your state’s specific telehealth and prescribing rules. Reputable telehealth platforms verify provider licensing and ensure compliance with state regulations automatically.

When choosing a telehealth provider, confirm:

  • They employ providers licensed in your state
  • They understand and follow your state’s telehealth requirements
  • They can continue your care long-term (considering any in-person visit requirements)

At Klarity Health, our network includes licensed providers in all 50 states who stay current with evolving telehealth regulations, ensuring your care is always compliant and uninterrupted.


What to Expect: The Telehealth Low T Treatment Process

So what does getting Low T treatment through telehealth actually look like? Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough.

Step 1: Initial Virtual Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive video consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. This isn’t just filling out a questionnaire—legitimate telehealth services require a real-time conversation with a medical professional.

During your initial visit, expect your provider to:

  • Review your medical history: Including chronic conditions, current medications, past surgeries, and family health history
  • Discuss your symptoms: How long you’ve been experiencing them, their severity, and how they’re impacting your life
  • Conduct a virtual examination: While they can’t perform a physical exam, providers will assess your overall health through observation and discussion
  • Screen for contraindications: Certain conditions (like active prostate cancer or severe heart disease) may make testosterone therapy unsafe

This consultation typically takes 30-45 minutes. Be prepared to be honest and thorough—accurate information leads to better treatment decisions.

Step 2: Laboratory Testing

Here’s something crucial to understand: A legitimate provider will never prescribe testosterone therapy without laboratory confirmation of low testosterone levels.

The American Urological Association guidelines are clear: Low T diagnosis requires two separate morning testosterone measurements below 300 ng/dL, plus symptoms. Why morning? Testosterone levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day, peaking in the morning.

Your telehealth provider will order:

  • Total testosterone (primary diagnostic marker)
  • Free testosterone (active form of the hormone)
  • Complete blood count (CBC) (to check red blood cells, as testosterone affects production)
  • Comprehensive metabolic panel (liver and kidney function)
  • Lipid panel (cholesterol levels)
  • PSA (prostate-specific antigen) (screening for prostate issues in men over 40)
  • LH and FSH (pituitary hormones that regulate testosterone production)

You’ll visit a local lab (often Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp) for a blood draw. Many telehealth platforms partner with national lab networks to make this convenient—you can often find a location within a few miles of your home.

Some providers may accept recent lab results if you’ve been tested elsewhere within the past few months. Always ask what’s accepted to avoid duplicate testing.

Step 3: Review Results and Treatment Plan

Once your labs are back (usually within a few days), you’ll have a follow-up virtual appointment to review results and discuss treatment options.

If you’re diagnosed with Low T, your provider will explain:

  • What your numbers mean (total testosterone level, free testosterone, and other relevant markers)
  • Treatment options available (testosterone replacement, Clomid, or other medications)
  • Pros and cons of each approach (including effects on fertility, side effects, and administration methods)
  • Monitoring requirements (how often you’ll need follow-up labs and visits)
  • Realistic expectations (how long before you notice improvements, typical results)

This is your opportunity to ask questions and be involved in treatment decisions. No treatment should be started without your informed consent.

Step 4: Prescription and Medication Delivery

If you and your provider agree on a treatment plan, they’ll send an electronic prescription to your pharmacy of choice.

For controlled substances like testosterone: The prescription goes through secure e-prescribing systems and must be filled at a licensed pharmacy. You’ll pick it up at your local pharmacy (CVS, Walgreens, local independent, etc.) or can often arrange mail-order delivery through your insurance pharmacy network.

For Clomid and other non-controlled medications: Same process—your prescription is sent electronically to your chosen pharmacy.

Your telehealth provider should discuss costs upfront, including:

  • Medication prices (both cash-pay and insurance coverage)
  • Whether they accept your insurance for the visit itself
  • Any additional lab or monitoring costs

Klarity Health provides transparent pricing from the start, accepting both insurance and affordable cash-pay options. You’ll know what your visit and prescriptions cost before committing to treatment—no surprise bills later.

Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up

Low T treatment isn’t ‘set it and forget it.’ Responsible providers schedule regular follow-ups to:

  • Monitor your symptoms: Are you feeling better? Any new concerns?
  • Check lab values: Testosterone levels should be rechecked after 3-6 months on therapy, then annually if stable. Additional monitoring includes hemoglobin/hematocrit (testosterone can increase red blood cells), liver function, and PSA.
  • Adjust treatment: Dosing may need tweaking based on your response and lab results
  • Watch for side effects: Including changes in mood, sleep apnea symptoms, or cardiovascular concerns

Most patients have follow-up visits every 3-6 months initially, then annually once treatment is optimized. These can continue via telehealth for your convenience.


Treatment Options: Testosterone vs. Clomid

When it comes to treating Low T, you have options. Let’s compare the two most common approaches.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)

How it works: Directly supplements testosterone through injections, gels, patches, or pellets.

Pros:

  • Directly raises testosterone levels predictably
  • Fastest symptom relief (often within weeks)
  • Multiple delivery methods available
  • Decades of clinical research supporting effectiveness

Cons:

  • Suppresses natural testosterone production
  • Can impair fertility (reduces sperm production)
  • Requires ongoing use (not a ‘cure’)
  • Schedule III controlled substance (stricter regulations)
  • Potential side effects: acne, sleep apnea, increased red blood cells, mood changes
  • More expensive than Clomid in many cases

Best for: Men with significantly low testosterone who aren’t concerned about fertility, or older men who’ve completed their families.

Clomid (Clomiphene Citrate)

How it works: Stimulates your body’s natural testosterone production by blocking estrogen receptors in the brain, which triggers increased LH and FSH production, which in turn signals the testicles to make more testosterone.

Pros:

  • Maintains natural testosterone production (and fertility)
  • Not a controlled substance (easier to prescribe via telehealth)
  • Typically less expensive than TRT
  • Oral medication (no injections)
  • Preserves testicular size and function
  • Can be stopped without requiring ‘weaning off’

Cons:

  • Off-label use (FDA-approved for female fertility, not male hypogonadism—though widely used and studied)
  • May not raise testosterone as much as direct replacement
  • Doesn’t work for everyone (especially those with primary testicular failure)
  • Less extensive long-term data than TRT
  • Potential side effects: visual disturbances (rare), mood changes, headaches

Best for: Younger men who want to preserve fertility, men with secondary hypogonadism (pituitary/brain issue rather than testicular failure), or those who prefer avoiding a controlled substance.

Which Is Right for You?

This decision should be made with your healthcare provider based on:

  • Your testosterone levels and underlying cause
  • Age and fertility goals
  • Treatment preferences (oral vs. injection/gel)
  • Medical history and contraindications
  • Cost and insurance coverage

Many men start with Clomid due to its fertility-preserving properties and ease of prescribing via telehealth. If Clomid doesn’t adequately raise testosterone levels after a 3-6 month trial, switching to TRT is always an option.


Red Flags: How to Spot Illegitimate Telehealth Services

As telehealth has grown, so have predatory or non-compliant services. Here’s how to protect yourself.

Warning Signs of Questionable Providers

🚩 No real doctor involvement: Services that prescribe based solely on questionnaires without a live video consultation are not following medical standards. Diagnosis requires a patient-provider relationship.

🚩 No lab testing required: Any provider willing to prescribe testosterone or Clomid without confirming low testosterone through blood tests is being irresponsible. This isn’t just bad medicine—it’s potentially dangerous.

🚩 Guarantees of prescriptions: Legitimate providers assess whether treatment is appropriate. If a service promises ‘guaranteed prescriptions’ regardless of medical need, they’re prioritizing profit over your health.

🚩 Shipping controlled substances directly: Testosterone is a controlled substance and must be dispensed through licensed U.S. pharmacies. Services that ship it directly from overseas or from ‘private pharmacies’ are violating federal law.

🚩 Out-of-state providers: Your provider must be licensed in your state to legally treat you via telehealth. Services using doctors licensed only in one state but treating patients nationwide are violating licensing requirements.

🚩 Too-good-to-be-true pricing: While competitive pricing is fine, prices far below market rate often indicate overseas suppliers, compounded medications of questionable quality, or other corners being cut.

🚩 No follow-up or monitoring: Proper Low T treatment requires ongoing monitoring. One-time prescriptions without follow-up care put your health at risk.

Recent Enforcement Actions

Federal authorities are cracking down on telehealth companies that violate prescribing rules. In November 2024, the founder of a major ADHD telehealth startup was convicted of fraud for distributing 40 million Adderall prescriptions without proper examinations. While this case involved stimulants rather than testosterone, it illustrates that regulators are actively monitoring telehealth prescribing practices.

The message is clear: choose licensed, compliant providers who follow established medical guidelines.

How to Verify a Legitimate Service

Check provider licensing: Confirm your doctor/NP/PA is licensed in your state. Most state medical boards have online verification tools.

Look for transparency: Legitimate services clearly list their providers, pricing, and processes on their websites.

Verify pharmacy partnerships: Prescriptions should be sent to major pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens) or accredited mail-order pharmacies—not ‘private’ or overseas suppliers.

Read reviews carefully: Look for detailed patient experiences on third-party sites, not just testimonials on the company’s own website.

Confirm insurance acceptance: If a service claims to accept insurance, verify they can actually bill your plan (and get coverage details in writing).

Ask about follow-up protocols: How often will you be monitored? What labs are required? A lack of ongoing care plans is a red flag.

Klarity Health meets all these standards: Our licensed providers conduct thorough video evaluations, require lab confirmation, prescribe only when medically appropriate, send prescriptions to your local pharmacy, and provide ongoing monitoring. We’re transparent about pricing and accept both insurance and affordable cash-pay options.


Insurance, Costs, and Accessibility

Let’s talk money—because healthcare costs matter.

Does Insurance Cover Telehealth Low T Treatment?

Telehealth visits: Most insurance plans now cover telehealth consultations at the same rate as in-person visits, thanks to policies adopted during the pandemic. Many states have made these ‘parity’ rules permanent.

Lab testing: Diagnostic labs ordered by your provider are typically covered under your medical insurance (subject to your deductible and copays). Some plans may require certain labs to be done at in-network facilities.

Medications: Coverage for testosterone and Clomid varies by plan. Many insurance plans cover testosterone injections (especially generic forms) with prior authorization. Clomid is often covered for fertility treatment; off-label use for male Low T may or may not be covered—check with your insurer.

Cash-Pay Options

Not everyone has insurance, and some prefer to pay out-of-pocket for privacy or convenience.

Typical telehealth visit costs (cash-pay):

  • Initial consultation: $100-$200
  • Follow-up visits: $75-$150
  • Lab testing (if self-pay): $100-$300 depending on tests ordered

Medication costs (monthly, cash-pay):

  • Testosterone injections: $30-$100/month (generic)
  • Testosterone gel: $100-$500/month (brand-name more expensive)
  • Clomid: $20-$80/month (generic clomiphene)

Klarity Health’s approach: We accept most major insurance plans and offer transparent cash-pay pricing for those who prefer it. You’ll know your costs upfront—no surprise bills. Our goal is to make quality Low T care accessible regardless of your insurance status.

Cost Comparison: Telehealth vs. Traditional In-Person Care

Beyond just the visit costs, consider the total value:

Telehealth advantages:

  • No lost work time (no commute, shorter appointment times)
  • No transportation costs
  • Access to specialists who may not be local
  • Often lower visit fees than in-person specialists

Traditional care advantages:

  • Physical examination capability
  • May be preferred by some insurance plans (though this is changing)
  • Some patients prefer face-to-face interaction

For many men, the convenience and time savings of telehealth make it the clear winner—especially for follow-up visits once treatment is established.


Privacy and Data Security in Telehealth

When discussing sensitive health topics like sexual function and hormone levels, privacy matters.

HIPAA Protections

All legitimate telehealth platforms must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects your medical information. This means:

  • Your health information can’t be shared without your consent
  • Communications must use encrypted, secure platforms
  • Providers must have safeguards against data breaches
  • You have rights to access and control your health records

What to Look For in a Secure Platform

  • Encrypted video connections (not just regular video chat apps)
  • Secure messaging for provider communication
  • Data storage compliance with HIPAA standards
  • Clear privacy policies explaining how your information is used
  • Multi-factor authentication for account access

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Know how your health information will be used
  • Request copies of your medical records
  • Request corrections to your records if information is incorrect
  • Receive a notice if there’s a data breach affecting your information

At Klarity Health, we take your privacy seriously. Our platform uses bank-level encryption, complies with all HIPAA requirements, and gives you full control over your health information.


The Future of Telehealth Low T Treatment

What does the road ahead look like for telehealth hormone therapy?

Regulatory Trends

While the DEA’s current flexibilities expire at the end of 2025, most experts anticipate either another extension or implementation of the proposed ‘special telemedicine registration’ system that would allow continued online prescribing of controlled substances.

Even if federal rules tighten, Clomid and other non-controlled Low T treatments will remain fully accessible via telehealth since they were never restricted in the first place.

Several states are actively expanding telehealth access rather than restricting it, recognizing the value virtual care provides to underserved populations.

Technology Improvements

Emerging technologies will make telehealth even better:

  • At-home testing: Some companies now offer at-home testosterone testing kits with lab-quality results, eliminating even the lab visit
  • Wearable monitoring: Future devices may track hormone-related metrics (energy, sleep, mood) to help providers optimize treatment
  • AI-assisted diagnosis: Artificial intelligence tools can help providers identify patterns and personalize treatment plans (though human providers will always make final decisions)

Increasing Acceptance

As younger generations grow more comfortable with virtual healthcare, demand for telehealth services will continue rising. This will likely drive further regulatory accommodation and insurance coverage improvements.

The bottom line: Telehealth Low T treatment is here to stay, and access will likely improve rather than diminish in coming years.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is telehealth Low T treatment really as good as in-person care?

When done properly—with thorough evaluations, required lab testing, and ongoing monitoring—telehealth Low T treatment follows the exact same medical standards as in-person care. The only difference is the location of your appointments. Clinical studies have shown comparable outcomes between telehealth and traditional care for chronic disease management, including hormone therapy.

Will my insurance cover a telehealth visit for Low T?

Most insurance plans now cover telehealth visits at the same rate as office visits. Check with your specific plan, but thanks to pandemic-era policy changes (many now permanent), telehealth parity is standard. If you’re unsure, the telehealth provider’s billing department can verify coverage before your first visit.

Can nurse practitioners or physician assistants prescribe testosterone?

It depends on your state. Many states grant nurse practitioners full prescriptive authority, including for controlled substances like testosterone. Other states require physician supervision. Physician assistants generally work under physician oversight but can prescribe controlled substances in most states when properly delegated. Your telehealth provider will employ clinicians with appropriate authority in your state.

How long does it take to feel better once starting treatment?

Most men notice improvements within 4-6 weeks of starting treatment, with full effects typically reached by 3-6 months. Energy and mood often improve first, followed by changes in body composition (increased muscle, decreased fat) and sexual function. Be patient—hormone optimization takes time. Your provider will schedule follow-ups to track your progress.

What if I move to another state while in treatment?

This can be complex since your provider must be licensed in your state. If you’re moving, notify your telehealth provider in advance. Many national platforms (like Klarity Health) have providers licensed in multiple states and can transfer your care. Worst case, you may need to establish care with a local provider in your new state—your current provider can send your records to ensure continuity.

Can I stay on treatment long-term?

Low T treatment is typically long-term or even lifelong, since it’s usually treating a chronic condition (age-related decline or underlying health issue) rather than a temporary problem. Regular monitoring ensures treatment remains safe and effective. Some men can eventually transition off treatment (especially if using Clomid and addressing underlying causes like obesity), but this should only be done under medical supervision.

What if my testosterone levels are normal but I still have symptoms?

Not all symptoms attributed to Low T are actually caused by testosterone deficiency. Depression, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, diabetes, and other conditions can cause similar symptoms. A thorough evaluation will look at the whole picture. If testosterone is normal, your provider should investigate other potential causes rather than prescribing treatment you don’t need.

Is Clomid safe for long-term use in men?

While Clomid is used off-label for male Low T (it’s FDA-approved for female fertility), numerous studies have evaluated its safety in men, including multi-year trials. Most men tolerate it well with minimal side effects. The most serious potential side effect—visual disturbances—is rare and reversible if medication is stopped. Regular monitoring helps catch any issues early. Discuss concerns with your provider, but for most men, Clomid is safe for long-term use.


Take the Next Step: Getting Started With Telehealth Low T Treatment

If you’ve made it this far, you’re clearly serious about taking control of your health. Here’s how to move forward.

What to Do Right Now

  1. Assess your symptoms: Are you experiencing multiple signs of Low T? If so, you’re a good candidate for evaluation.

  2. Gather your medical history: Make notes about chronic conditions, current medications, past surgeries, and family history. This will help your provider give you the best care.

  3. Check for recent lab results: If you’ve had testosterone tested in the past few months, locate those results—you may be able to use them and avoid duplicate testing.

  4. Review your insurance: Check whether telehealth visits are covered under your plan and what your copay/deductible is. Also verify whether your plan covers testosterone or Clomid prescriptions.

  5. Research providers: Look for a licensed, reputable telehealth platform with transparent pricing and good reviews.
