Questions to ask a provider
You do not need to sound like a doctor. You do need to know who is responsible for you, what they will measure, and what “no” looks like. Take these as a list, not as a script.
01
Who is the licensed clinician responsible for my care?
Get a name, license type, and the state they are licensed in. A brand name is not a clinician.
02
What labs will you order, and who explains them?
Ask whether a morning sample matters, whether they repeat an abnormal result, and whether you will see the actual numbers.
03
What would make you decide I am not a candidate?
A serious clinic can answer this. If everything is a yes, you are in a sales process.
04
How do you monitor someone who is prescribed testosterone?
Follow-up timing, which labs, and what happens if a blood count or other marker moves the wrong way.
05
How do you handle fertility if I still want children?
Testosterone can suppress sperm production. This should be discussed before anyone writes a prescription, not after.
06
What does this cost, and what is not included?
Memberships sometimes hide lab fees, medication, or follow-up. Ask for a plain list. We do not publish clinic prices because they change.
07
If I use telehealth, where do I get blood drawn in Montana?
You should leave with a specific plan, not “we’ll send a kit sometime.”
08
Who do I call if I have a problem after hours?
Especially important if you live hours from the clinic.
09
Can my existing primary-care clinician see the records?
Split care is common in this state. Ask how they coordinate.
