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 We do not publish clinic prices because they change.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.
Cost questions belong next to the Montana cost guide. Symptom questions belong next to what men actually notice, not a sales score. Fertility belongs on TRT and fertility before anyone writes a prescription. The first visit is spelled out on TRT evaluation in Montana.
Talk to a licensed provider
This form goes to a licensed clinic or partner so you can get evaluated. It does not start treatment and does not mean anyone will prescribe testosterone.
