A member asked:

Why is bioidentical compounded testosterone covered for men by insurance but few female hormones mostly synthetic and no compounded ones for women are?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's a Mystery: One of my greatest frustrations in caring for patients is dealing with insurance coverages.Not only are their discrepancies between sexes but every year they change forcing us to treat the patient with what is covered and not what is best for them. Another example is Breast Reconstruction is covered after breast cancer but testicular prosthesis is not covered after testicular cancer. Mind Boggling
