QuickMD HRT Cost in 2026: $79 vs $99, Meds, Labs & Annual Total

QuickMD HRT cost is not one clean number: QuickMD publishes $79 per visit on its menopause page and pricing flow, but $99 on its hormone-medication directory. Medication is separate, with 30-day prices from $24 to a $64 starting price. With quarterly follow-ups, oral estradiol plus progesterone models at $952 to $1,032 for year one before labs.^[1][2][3][4]

That conflict is the first thing to know, because it changes every annual total on this page. Do not authorize payment until the booking screen shows the menopause visit type, your state, and the exact amount you will be charged.

The four facts that decide whether QuickMD is actually cheap for you:

• The visit is pay-per-appointment, not a monthly care membership. QuickMD’s menopause page says no subscription and no commitment.^[1]
• Medication is separate. QuickMD Home Delivery publishes 30-day prices from $24 to a starting price of $64.^[1]
• Follow-ups are typically every three months. That makes four paid visits during months 0, 3, 6, and 9 a defensible first-year planning model—not a one- or two-visit planning year.^[4]
• Labs are outside the visit price. QuickMD publishes two different descriptions of what MHT testing may include and no universal cash price.^[5][6]

Is QuickMD right for you? The 30-second read

QuickMD fits a cash-pay woman who wants a live phone or video visit, no subscription, and the option to use Home Delivery or her own pharmacy. It is the wrong door if insurance billing for the appointment is the priority, unpriced labs break the budget, or paying for an evaluation without a guaranteed prescription would feel unacceptable.

QuickMD fits you if	QuickMD is the wrong door if
You are paying cash for the visit anyway	You need the provider to bill your health plan for the appointment
You want a live phone or video conversation rather than message-only intake	You specifically want a menopause-only practice rather than a general telehealth platform
You want to pay only when a visit occurs, with no care membership	You want one bundled monthly charge covering care, medication, and labs
You want the option to fill a prescription locally or use home delivery	You need a guaranteed all-in price before any lab or pharmacy decision
You can accept that the clinician may decide not to prescribe what you requested	You would feel cheated if a completed evaluation did not produce the medication you came for

The clean next step: open QuickMD’s current menopause page, select the state where you will physically be during the appointment, and confirm the final amount before authorizing payment.

The HRT Index is the independent decision resource for online menopause and HRT care — comparing telehealth providers on clinical legitimacy, care quality, medication fit, price transparency, and access, with every claim verified and dated, so women can choose the path that fits their situation before their first consult.

The right online HRT provider isn't the same for every woman — it depends on your symptoms, your age and whether you have a uterus, your medication route preference (patch, pill, gel, or vaginal estrogen), your risk history, your insurance or cash-pay situation, and your state. Some situations belong with an in-person clinician first. Because a general answer can't resolve those for you, use The HRT Index's Find My HRT Path tool to match your situation to the right provider — and to flag when online care isn't the right starting point — before your first consult.

Where our money comes from, before you read another word: we have no commercial relationship with QuickMD. We do earn commissions from some alternatives discussed on The HRT Index. Those relationships are labeled under our affiliate disclosure, and they do not buy a ranking or make QuickMD less useful for a woman it genuinely fits.

Is QuickMD HRT $79 or $99 per visit?

QuickMD currently publishes both. Its menopause treatment page says $79 per visit, no subscription, and no commitment. Its general pricing and booking surfaces also show $79. But its separate hormone-medication directory says $99 per visit. Both first-party prices were live when we checked on August 25, 2026.^[1][2][3]

This is not a harmless typo when the page is about cost. The difference is:

• $20 per appointment
• $80 across four paid visits
• $100 across five paid visits

QuickMD first-party page	Price displayed	What it says
Menopause hormone therapy page	$79	Live phone or video visit; pay per visit; no subscription
General pricing / booking surfaces	$79	Menopause hormone therapy consultation
Hormone-therapy medication directory	$99	Hormone therapy through QuickMD is $99 per visit

The only honest answer today is $79 or $99, depending on which QuickMD surface controls the checkout you see. We are not averaging them. We are not quietly picking $79 because it converts better. Every cost table below carries both scenarios until QuickMD fixes the conflict.

Is it a monthly membership?

No. The reviewed menopause page says the care fee is per visit, with no subscription. Medication can recur, and follow-up visits recur, but QuickMD does not publish a separate monthly clinical membership for this service.^[1]

Older forum discussion describing a “$79 monthly membership” reflects a previous model or stale information. The current decision is pay-per-visit care plus medication, labs, and any policy or pharmacy costs that apply to you.

What to capture at checkout

Before payment, confirm:

1. The service says menopause hormone therapy.
2. The selected state matches where you will physically be during the appointment.
3. The amount is $79, $99, or another clearly displayed figure.
4. No membership checkbox or recurring care charge has been added.
5. The cancellation and credit terms are visible or linked.

A screenshot of that screen is worth more than another article repeating a price from a different QuickMD page.

What does each QuickMD HRT medication cost?

QuickMD Home Delivery currently publishes eleven 30-day price cards, from $24 for estradiol tablets or the minoxidil card to a $64 starting price for estradiol patches. The list is not one uniform FDA-approved HRT formulary: it mixes systemic MHT, local vaginal estrogen, compounded products, contraception, and a hair-loss drug.^[1][7][8][9]

What QuickMD lists	Published 30-day price	Honest category
Estradiol tablets	$24	Systemic MHT formulation category; exact product, strength, manufacturer, quantity, and NDC not published on the price card
Minoxidil tablets	$24	Hair-loss adjunct, not hormone therapy; the $24 card does not identify the exact dispensed product
Progesterone capsules	$29	Progestogen formulation category used in MHT; exact product details not published on the price card
Norethindrone tablets	$29	Progestin; exact product and intended use not published on the price card
Loestrin Fe	$34	FDA-approved combined oral contraceptive, not standard menopausal hormone therapy
Estradiol vaginal cream	$39	Local vaginal estrogen formulation category; not a cheaper substitute for systemic treatment of hot flashes
Estradiol + norethindrone tablets	$44	Combined systemic MHT formulation category; exact product details not published on the price card
Testosterone cream for women	$59	Compounded, not FDA-approved; testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance
Estradiol vaginal inserts	$59	Local vaginal estrogen formulation category
Estriol face cream	$59	Compounded and not FDA-approved; there are no FDA-approved drugs containing estriol
Estradiol patches	From $64	Systemic MHT formulation category; the dose-by-dose range and exact product are not published

Three things jump out once the whole list is put in one table.

The $24-to-$64 headline does not tell you the treatment category

The cheapest item may not treat the symptom you are trying to solve. Systemic pills and patches circulate throughout the body and are used for symptoms such as hot flashes. Local vaginal estrogen is directed at vaginal and urinary symptoms. One cannot be treated as a budget replacement for the other.^[10]

If your main problem is vaginal dryness, burning, urinary symptoms, or pain with sex, local therapy may be the right lane. If your main problem is hot flashes or night sweats, choosing a local product because it costs less can buy you the wrong category of treatment and another appointment.

“FDA-approved formulation category” is not a verified dispensed product

QuickMD’s public price cards usually do not identify the exact manufacturer, NDC, strength, or quantity that will arrive. We can verify the category and published cash price, but we cannot label every card as one specific FDA-approved product before the prescription and pharmacy record exist.

Ask this before paying for medication:

“What exact drug, strength, quantity, manufacturer, and pharmacy will fill this—and is the final product FDA-approved or compounded?”

The minoxidil card is especially unclear

Oral minoxidil is FDA-approved for severe or resistant hypertension, not hair loss and not hormone therapy.^[11] QuickMD’s support material separately lists oral minoxidil for hair loss, while the public $24 card does not identify the dose, manufacturer, NDC, or whether the dispensed form is manufactured or compounded.^[7]

That does not make off-label prescribing illegitimate. It means “minoxidil tablets” should not inflate the apparent size of a menopause-hormone formulary, and the exact product needs to be confirmed before anyone compares its price.

QuickMD’s priced menu is not its whole support formulary

QuickMD’s support center also names estradiol gel, an estradiol/norethindrone patch, medroxyprogesterone, and paroxetine, but the public menopause price cards do not post prices for all of those entries.^[7] “Eleven published prices” is therefore not the same as “every medication QuickMD may prescribe.”

What does QuickMD HRT cost for a full year?

Using QuickMD’s typical every-three-month follow-up guidance, a first year with four paid visits costs $604 to $1,512 across the common published medication paths below, depending on the $79/$99 visit conflict and the medication selected. Labs, imaging, expedited shipping, and outside-pharmacy charges are not included because QuickMD publishes no universal amount for them.^[1][2][4]

The assumption decides the answer

QuickMD says menopause hormone-therapy follow-ups are typically every three months or as advised by the clinician.^[4] We therefore model two transparent timelines:

• Four-visit first year: initial visit at month 0, then paid follow-ups around months 3, 6, and 9.
• Five-visit renewal-inclusive year: the same four visits plus the next renewal visit around month 12.

Your clinician may set a different schedule. This is budgeting math, not a promise about how often you personally will be seen.

Medication convention: each annual medication figure uses twelve published 30-day fills, or 360 days. It does not add a thirteenth fill for the remaining five days of a 365-day year, account for early-refill overlap, or assume that every prescription is dispensed monthly.

Care cost only

Paid visits counted	At $79 per visit	At $99 per visit	What the model represents
1	$79	$99	Initial evaluation only
4	$316	$396	Months 0, 3, 6, and 9
5	$395	$495	Four-visit first year plus month-12 renewal

Four-visit first-year totals

Published medication path	12 × 30-day fills	Care at $79 × 4	First-year planning total at $79	Care at $99 × 4	First-year planning total at $99
Estradiol tablets only	$288	$316	$604	$396	$684
Estradiol + norethindrone tablet	$528	$316	$844	$396	$924
Estradiol tablets + progesterone capsules	$636	$316	$952	$396	$1,032
Vaginal estradiol cream only	$468	$316	$784	$396	$864
Vaginal estradiol inserts only	$708	$316	$1,024	$396	$1,104
Estradiol patch only	From $768	$316	From $1,084	$396	From $1,164
Estradiol patch + progesterone capsules	From $1,116	$316	From $1,432	$396	From $1,512

Five-visit renewal-inclusive totals

Published medication path	12 × 30-day fills	Renewal-inclusive total at $79 × 5	Renewal-inclusive total at $99 × 5
Estradiol tablets only	$288	$683	$783
Estradiol + norethindrone tablet	$528	$923	$1,023
Estradiol tablets + progesterone capsules	$636	$1,031	$1,131
Vaginal estradiol cream only	$468	$863	$963
Vaginal estradiol inserts only	$708	$1,103	$1,203
Estradiol patch only	From $768	From $1,163	From $1,263
Estradiol patch + progesterone capsules	From $1,116	From $1,511	From $1,611

What these tables prove

• The advertised visit price is not the monthly or annual cost.
• QuickMD’s current $79/$99 conflict changes a four-visit year by $80.
• Medication route can move the annual total more than the visit-price conflict does.
• A two-visit annual model understates cost under QuickMD’s current quarterly follow-up guidance.
• The patch price is a floor, not a completed quote, because QuickMD publishes only “starting at $64.”

What they do not prove

• That any medication or combination is right for you.
• That four visits will be your exact schedule.
• That the public Home Delivery card covers every dose or quantity.
• That a prescription will be issued.
• That labs cost zero.
• That your local pharmacy, insurance plan, or discount price will match anyone else’s.

Run your own QuickMD number

Use this formula with amounts you have actually confirmed:

(Visit price × paid visits) + (each 30-day medication price × 12) + actual lab or imaging charges + actual pharmacy or shipping add-ons

Examples:

• One $24 medication, four visits at $79: ($24 × 12) + ($79 × 4) = $604 before labs.
• $24 estradiol plus $29 progesterone, four visits at $99: ($53 × 12) + ($99 × 4) = $1,032 before labs.
• A patch starting at $64 plus $29 progesterone, five visits at $99: at least $1,611 before labs.

The single question that decides your budget:

“How many paid visits will I need during my first 12 months to keep this prescription active, and what is the longest supply you can write?”

How often does QuickMD require HRT follow-ups?

QuickMD’s support center says MHT follow-ups are typically every three months or as advised by the clinician. Follow-ups are required for ongoing program services so the clinician can monitor progress, adjust medication, and renew prescriptions. You do not have to see the same QuickMD clinician each time.^[4]

That cadence materially changes the annual model. QuickMD now publishes it.

The good part is clear: quarterly follow-up is not a monthly subscription, and any available QuickMD clinician can access prior notes. The trade-off is just as clear: every required conversation can create another paid visit.

Ask these before treating four visits as your final quote:

• Is the first follow-up expected exactly at 90 days?
• Will a shorter interval apply while adjusting treatment?
• Is every follow-up charged at the same live visit price?
• Can a longer prescription be written once the plan is stable?
• Does reviewing labs require a separate paid appointment?
• Does changing route or dose require another visit?

QuickMD’s public cadence supports the four-visit planning model. Your clinician’s actual plan controls your bill.

---

Are labs included in QuickMD’s visit price?

No. QuickMD does not say labs are included in the $79 or $99 visit. Its newer support article says MHT labs are typically required before treatment, while its public FAQ presents a broader 14-item panel as recommended. QuickMD publishes no universal cash price or clear rule showing which tests are mandatory for every patient.^[5][6]

QuickMD publishes two different lab descriptions

Support article: hormone levels, a thyroid panel, and sometimes a mammogram or bone-density scan.^[5]

Public FAQ: complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, HbA1c, thyroid panel, vitamin D, zinc, magnesium, high-sensitivity CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, iron/anemia panel, ferritin, folate, and vitamin B12.^[6]

Those are not the same list. One says labs are “typically required”; the other calls a much broader panel “recommended.” Neither page publishes a bundled cash price.

QuickMD’s menopause page also tells MHT patients to obtain a mammogram at least every two years. Treat that as QuickMD’s program language—not a substitute for individualized screening guidance based on age, history, prior results, and the clinician managing your care.^[1]

What the guideline conflict means

A 2025 European Society of Endocrinology guideline says biochemical testing is not necessary to diagnose or manage perimenopause or menopause in women older than 45 when the presentation is typical. The same guideline says other diagnoses may need testing, and testing may be considered in younger women.^[12]

That does not make every lab unreasonable. Thyroid disease, anemia, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, medication monitoring, unusual symptoms, age, and personal history can create real reasons to test. It means QuickMD should be able to tell you which tests are required for you, why, whether recent results count, who orders them, and what they cost.

Ask support in writing before booking:

“For my age and situation, which labs or imaging are required before any prescription, which are optional, will you accept recent results, who orders them, and what will I pay?”

Do not budget from a generic online lab-panel price. Until QuickMD names the required order and billing route, any number would be fake precision.

Does QuickMD take insurance, HSA, or FSA for HRT?

QuickMD does not accept insurance for visit fees. It says you receive a visit summary that may support possible out-of-network reimbursement, and a prescription sent to your chosen pharmacy may be covered under your drug benefit. QuickMD also says HSA/FSA cards can typically be used for visits, subject to your plan administrator’s rules.^[13]

The split is simple:

Insurance may help with the medication. QuickMD will not bill it for the visit.

What you are paying for	Can insurance or a tax-advantaged account help?
QuickMD visit	QuickMD does not bill insurance. Possible out-of-network reimbursement depends on your plan. HSA/FSA cards can typically be used.
QuickMD Home Delivery medication	Cash-pay price; confirm HSA/FSA eligibility and receipt documentation for the exact order
Medication sent to your pharmacy	Your prescription benefit may cover it; formulary rules, copays, deductibles, substitutions, or prior authorization may apply
Labs or imaging	Depends on the ordering route, facility, coding, network, and your plan

QuickMD says it can support prior-authorization documentation when a medication requires it, but approval is controlled by the insurer and may still fail.^[15]

The honest drawback, and what it buys you

QuickMD does not bill insurance. If using insurance for the appointment is your priority, Midi Health is the better door. Midi publishes self-pay prices of $250 for the first visit and $150 for follow-ups, has no membership fee, and says it is in-network with most PPO plans; exact coverage still depends on your plan and state.^[14]

But if you are paying cash regardless, QuickMD’s pay-per-visit model removes network math from the appointment itself. You see the charge before booking, and there is no separate clinical membership. That is not a consolation prize for a woman with a deductible she will never meet. It may be the reason the model works.

Have PPO insurance you want to use? Do not pay cash out of habit.

Is your own pharmacy cheaper than QuickMD Home Delivery?

It can be, but exact coupon-price savings cannot be published responsibly from QuickMD’s public data alone. QuickMD lets a clinician send a prescription to your local pharmacy or use Home Delivery, yet its public price cards do not consistently disclose the exact strength, quantity, manufacturer, or NDC needed for a true like-for-like price match.^[2]

That means “same generic” is not enough. A coupon result for one strength, package size, manufacturer, or ZIP code cannot be treated as the price of the product QuickMD would have dispensed.

The comparison that is safe to make

• QuickMD Home Delivery gives you a published cash price and delivery convenience.
• Your pharmacy may give you a lower cash price, a discount-card price, or insurance coverage.
• The winner can change by exact prescription, ZIP code, pharmacy, day, and plan.
• You cannot know which route is cheaper until the prescription details match.

How to compare without fooling yourself

1. Ask the clinician for the exact drug, route, strength, quantity, and refill length.
2. Ask for the prescription to be sent to your preferred pharmacy rather than Home Delivery.
3. Compare your insurance price and current cash or discount price at two or three nearby pharmacies.
4. Compare the same quantity—30 days against 30 days or 90 days against 90 days.
5. Ask whether a 90-day prescription is clinically and legally appropriate for you.
6. Add the value of delivery honestly if transportation, privacy, time, or pharmacy access matters.

One sentence at the end of the visit preserves the option:

“Please show me the exact Home Delivery product and price, and send the prescription to my pharmacy if that route is cheaper.”

A flat claim that this move saves roughly $350 to $400 a year cannot survive verification. The direction may be right for some prescriptions; the exact amount is unknowable until the product and pharmacy quote match.

---

What happens after the visit, and who fills the prescription?

If the clinician prescribes, QuickMD says the prescription can go to your chosen local pharmacy or to QuickMD Home Delivery. QuickMD identifies Honeybee Health and The Pharmacy Hub as home-delivery partners. Its menopause page markets free two-day shipping, while its support center says most home-delivery patients receive medication within three to five business days after payment.^[1][15][16]

That difference matters. “Two-day shipping” describes carrier speed more naturally than the full time from visit to doorstep. Prescription review, payment, pharmacy processing, weekends, inventory, state rules, and shipping can all sit before or around the transit window.

Local pharmacy path

The prescription is transmitted to the pharmacy you choose. You pay the pharmacy and may use insurance or a current cash/discount price. Availability and willingness to fill can vary, particularly for controlled substances and telehealth prescriptions.

Home Delivery path

You complete medication payment in the QuickMD app. The order confirmation should identify which partner is handling the prescription. QuickMD says most patients receive home-delivery medication within three to five business days after payment.^[16]

Before it ships, ask:

“Which pharmacy is dispensing this, what exact product will I receive, is it manufactured or compounded, when does processing begin, and does the quoted delivery window start at payment or shipment?”

---

What QuickMD fees and refund rules can change the cost?

QuickMD’s legal policy publishes a $35 late-cancellation/no-show deduction, a possible $35 wrong-state rescheduling fee, a possible $25 chargeback administrative fee, a completed-visit no-refund rule, and medication-return limits. A visit buys an evaluation, not a prescription.^[17]

Rule or charge	What it means
No refund after a completed visit	Once you have been seen, QuickMD says the visit is not refundable even when the clinician declines the requested medication
$35 late-cancellation or no-show deduction	The legal policy applies it when a visit is missed or cancelled less than one hour before the appointment
Two-hour cancellation instruction	QuickMD’s FAQ separately asks patients to cancel at least two hours before; follow the stricter two-hour instruction
Possible $35 wrong-state fee	Support may reschedule you with a clinician licensed in the applicable state after the additional administrative fee is paid
Possible $25 chargeback fee	The policy says a chargeback on a completed visit or delivered medication could trigger this fee
Credits and refund window	Cancelled, missed, or unsuccessful visits may create account credit; qualifying credits are refundable within 30 days of the original charge
Credit expiry	Standard visit credit generally expires after 12 months; a first-time incomplete-visit credit expires after 30 days; referral and promotional credits have separate rules
No medication returns	Shipped medication is not returnable; damaged or lost medication may qualify for partial credit with documentation
Provider more than 15 minutes late	QuickMD says the patient receives a full visit credit and support will reschedule

Now the part that reads harshly but should not be softened:

You can pay, complete the visit, and leave without the medication you asked for—and you do not get the visit fee back.

That is not evidence of a scam. A legitimate clinician must be free to say no. The problem would be a company implying that payment guarantees a prescription. QuickMD’s policy does the opposite: it states the limitation plainly, even though it lives far deeper than the treatment headline.

Avoidable fee checklist:

• Confirm your physical location and selected state before paying.
• Cancel at least two hours before the appointment if plans change.
• Upload your ID and complete intake early.
• Log in early and preserve screenshots if the platform fails.
• Contact support before filing a chargeback.
• Treat the visit as payment for clinical judgment, not a medication purchase.

Is QuickMD HRT available in your state?

On August 25, 2026, QuickMD’s public state page displayed hormone therapy under eight state sections: California, Florida, Georgia, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. That is a dated observation of the public page—not a promise that every clinician, medication, delivery route, or appointment is available everywhere in those states.^[18]

Do not convert that sentence into “QuickMD is available in only eight states.” The page can change, and the booking flow is the final practical gate.

Public state-page observation	What to do before paying
California	Confirm menopause hormone therapy appears after selecting California
Florida	Confirm the visit type and current checkout price
Georgia	Confirm clinician availability and pharmacy route
New York	Confirm the visit type is active for your location
Oklahoma	Confirm medication and delivery eligibility
Pennsylvania	Confirm clinician and appointment availability
Texas	Confirm the exact service and checkout amount
Washington	Confirm the exact service and checkout amount

QuickMD’s policy says prescriptions must be issued in the same state as the patient’s location and allows a possible $35 administrative fee to correct a wrong-state booking.^[17]

Check twice: first on the QuickMD states page, then inside the booking flow before payment.

If your state does not show the service, do not force the wrong visit type and hope it works. Find My HRT Path can route you by state, insurance, symptoms, and medication preference—and flag when online care is not the right starting point.

Is everything on QuickMD’s hormone list actually menopause hormone therapy?

No. QuickMD’s public menu mixes standard systemic MHT formulation categories, local vaginal estrogen, compounded testosterone and estriol, a contraceptive, and oral minoxidil for hair loss. Counting all eleven cards as equivalent “HRT options” would exaggerate the menopause formulary and blur FDA-approved products with compounded preparations.^{[1][7][8][9][11]}

FDA-approved and compounded are not interchangeable labels

FDA-approved hormone therapies are reviewed for safety and effectiveness. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. FDA also says it has no evidence that compounded “bioidentical” hormones are safer or more effective than FDA-approved menopause therapy.^[8][19]

Compounding has legitimate clinical uses. A patient may need a dosage form or ingredient combination that a manufactured product does not provide. That does not erase the regulatory difference.

QuickMD’s list, separated honestly

Group	Items on QuickMD’s public menu	What the label means
Systemic MHT formulation categories	Estradiol tablets, estradiol patches, estradiol + norethindrone	Categories with FDA-approved products; exact dispensed product must still be confirmed
Progestogen/progestin entries	Progesterone capsules, norethindrone tablets	May be used within hormone-treatment plans; exact product and purpose must be confirmed
Local vaginal estrogen	Vaginal estradiol cream, vaginal estradiol inserts	Targets vaginal/urinary tissue; not a systemic hot-flash substitute
Compounded hormone products	Testosterone cream, estriol face cream	Final compounded preparations are not FDA-approved
Contraception	Loestrin Fe	FDA-approved to prevent pregnancy; not standard MHT
Hair-loss adjunct	Minoxidil tablets	Not hormone therapy; oral hair-loss use is off-label, and exact product is not disclosed on the price card

The menu is broad enough to cover oral, patch, and local routes. It just is not eleven like-for-like menopause hormone therapies.

Does QuickMD prescribe testosterone for women, and what does it cost?

QuickMD lists compounded testosterone cream for women at $59 per 30-day supply. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States, no FDA-approved testosterone product is indicated for women, and no telehealth company can promise it before a licensed clinician evaluates the patient and decides it is appropriate.^{[1][20][21][28]}

QuickMD’s FAQ names testosterone cream for women’s hormone therapy as a limited exception to its general controlled-substance restrictions.^[6]

Four facts belong together:

1. Prescription required. A clinician licensed for the state where you are located must evaluate you.
2. Controlled substance. Federal law lists testosterone in Schedule III.^[20]
3. Compounded product. QuickMD’s cream is not an FDA-approved drug product.^[7]
4. Narrow evidence base. The Menopause Society’s evidence summary identifies hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women as the sole evidence-based indication for testosterone therapy in women; it does not support using testosterone as a general cure for energy, mood, weight, or vitality.^[21]

QuickMD’s marketing describes broader benefits. This page does not repeat those claims as established evidence.

If testosterone is the reason you are considering QuickMD, ask what evidence-based indication, monitoring, pharmacy, concentration, quantity, refill cadence, and controlled-substance rules apply in your state before you pay.

How does QuickMD compare with Midi and Winona on annual cost?

QuickMD is the lowest fully modeled cash path here for the published oral estradiol-plus-progesterone combination under its typical four-visit year: $952 to $1,032 before labs. Midi’s four-visit self-pay care scenario is $700 before medication and labs. Winona’s lowest published oral combination is about $1,209 across thirteen 28-day billing cycles, with asynchronous care included.^{[1][2][4][14][22][23]}

These are not identical services. The point is to show where each model puts the bill.

Provider model	Reproducible annual scenario	What is included	Biggest variable
QuickMD + Home Delivery	$952–$1,032	Four paid visits + 12 months of published $24 estradiol tablets and $29 progesterone capsules	$79/$99 visit conflict; labs; exact product; clinician cadence
Midi self-pay	$700 care only	One $250 initial visit + three $150 follow-ups	Medication, labs, actual follow-up schedule, insurance eligibility
Winona oral subscription	About $1,209	Estrogen tablets from $54 + progesterone capsules from $39, processed every 28 days; messaging-based clinical support included	“From” prices, prescribed plan, 13 billing cycles, state and age eligibility

Where QuickMD wins

QuickMD wins for a cash-pay reader who values a live appointment, does not want a membership, accepts separate visit and medication charges, and can use the program in her state. Under the published oral-combination prices, QuickMD remains below Winona’s $1,209 floor through about seven $79 visits or five $99 visits, before labs and other costs.

Where Midi wins

Midi wins the insurance-first question. It is a menopause-focused practice, says it is in-network with most PPO plans, and publishes $250 initial and $150 follow-up self-pay prices. Your actual insured cost depends on the exact plan, deductible, copay, coinsurance, and state.^[14]

Where Winona wins

Winona wins for someone who does not want to pay per conversation and is comfortable with asynchronous care. Its FAQ says 30-day prescriptions are processed every 28 days, physician communication happens through the portal rather than phone or video, and responses typically take 24 to 48 hours.^[23][24]

That structure can be valuable during dose adjustment. It is also a bad fit for someone who wants a scheduled face-to-face conversation.

Why Hers and Inner Balance are not in the cost table

We work with both companies, but neither is the clean comparison for this page.

Hers: the Federal Trade Commission and state partners filed a pending lawsuit on July 29, 2026 alleging deceptive billing, cancellation, and privacy practices. Those are allegations, not a final judgment. On a page built around fee transparency, the pending action is material and cannot be tucked away.^[25]

Inner Balance / Oestra: the product is compounded. This table compares QuickMD’s published oral lane with provider models that can use manufactured FDA-approved products; treating a compounded cream as a like-for-like substitute would violate the distinction this page is trying to protect.^[29]

We would rather lose two commissions than make a cleaner-looking table by hiding the mismatch.

Is QuickMD legit, and what does the evidence actually show?

QuickMD has real operational legitimacy signals: live phone or video care, U.S.-based licensed clinicians working through physician-owned affiliated practices, published legal policies, named home-delivery pharmacy partners, a displayed LegitScript certification, and more than one million completed visits reported by the company. Those signals do not prove menopause-specific care quality.^[26][27]

What we can verify from public materials:

• QuickMD’s terms explain that physician-owned affiliated practices provide the clinical care.^[26]
• The menopause service is a live phone or video visit, not a questionnaire sold as a visit.^[1]
• QuickMD publishes its refund and cancellation rules.^[17]
• It names Honeybee Health and The Pharmacy Hub as home-delivery partners.^[15]
• Its site displays a LegitScript certification badge and states it is certified.^[27]

What remains thin:

• Independent menopause-specific patient evidence.
• A public explanation of clinician menopause training beyond broad marketing language.
• A published, universal lab cost.
• A single consistent visit price.
• Exact product details on the public medication cards.

We do not use QuickMD’s overall Trustpilot score or selected cross-service quotations as proof of menopause-care quality. Those reviews span unrelated service lines, change over time, and do not establish the total cost or quality of this program. A review about addiction treatment or weight loss is not evidence about menopause care.

Our read: QuickMD looks operationally legitimate. Its current weakness is not whether a clinician exists. It is whether the public pricing, lab, and product information is consistent enough for a woman to know the full bill before she pays.

Who should choose a different starting point?

Online cash-pay care is not the right first door for every situation. Unexplained vaginal bleeding, possible pregnancy, a personal history of hormone-sensitive cancer, prior blood clots, stroke or heart attack, active liver disease, or symptoms that may need an examination deserve an established or in-person clinician before a fast online checkout.^[8][10]

That is not a blanket claim that every person with one of those histories can never use hormone therapy. It means the first decision deserves more context than a cost page can provide.

If this is you	Better starting point
You have PPO insurance and want it billed for the visit	Check Midi’s in-network status for your exact plan and state
Your symptoms or history may need an examination or urgent workup	Start with an established clinician, in-person practice, urgent care, or emergency care as appropriate
Your only issue is vaginal dryness, burning, urinary symptoms, or pain with sex	Read our vaginal-estrogen guide before paying for systemic care
You have a uterus and are considering systemic estrogen without endometrial protection	Read our HRT benefits-and-risks guide and ask the prescribing clinician directly what protects your uterine lining
You want FDA-approved-only medication	Confirm the exact product before paying; do not treat QuickMD’s compounded testosterone or estriol as equivalent
You want ongoing message access with no separate fee per conversation	Compare Winona’s asynchronous subscription model
You genuinely do not know which lane fits	Use Find My HRT Path

Do not use an online article to start, stop, combine, or change prescription hormones. Use it to know what questions cannot be skipped.

What should you verify before paying QuickMD?

Eight questions close almost every cost gap QuickMD leaves open: the live visit fee, follow-up count, prescription length, lab requirements, pharmacy route, exact product, FDA-approved versus compounded status, and what happens if no prescription is issued. Ask them before or during the first visit and keep the answers in writing.

1. Is today’s menopause hormone-therapy visit $79 or $99 in my state?
2. How many paid visits will I need during my first 12 months, and when?
3. What is the longest supply you can write once the plan is stable?
4. Which labs or imaging are required before prescribing, which are optional, will you accept recent results, and what will I pay?
5. Can you send the prescription to my own pharmacy instead of Home Delivery?
6. What exact drug, route, strength, quantity, manufacturer, and pharmacy will fill it?
7. Is the final product FDA-approved or compounded?
8. If the clinician decides medication is not appropriate today, what happens to the visit fee?

If you have a uterus and systemic estrogen is being discussed, add a ninth:

“What in this plan protects my uterine lining?”

If that list makes you feel ready rather than nervous, you are in the right frame of mind to check the live booking screen.

How we verified this QuickMD HRT cost audit

We read QuickMD’s live treatment, pricing, medication-directory, support, FAQ, state, insurance, pharmacy, and legal-policy pages on August 25, 2026. We rebuilt the annual math from the published visit and medication prices, carried both conflicting visit fees, and separated provider-stated facts from regulatory classifications.

This page follows The HRT Index Verification Standard: read every published price, separate FDA-approved from compounded, verify state availability and insurance, and re-check on a fixed schedule—top providers monthly, the full roster quarterly.

What we verified

• The active $79 versus $99 first-party price conflict.
• All eleven Home Delivery price cards and the “starting” qualifier on patches.
• The typical every-three-month MHT follow-up guidance.
• The lab-policy conflict between the support article and FAQ.
• Insurance, possible out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA/FSA language.
• Local-pharmacy versus Home Delivery choice.
• Named home-delivery pharmacy partners and the 3-to-5-business-day support estimate.
• Refund, cancellation, wrong-state, chargeback, credit, medication-return, and clinician-lateness rules.
• The eight state sections displaying hormone therapy on the verification date.
• FDA, DailyMed, eCFR, The Menopause Society, and peer-reviewed guideline facts used to classify compounded products, testosterone, Loestrin Fe, minoxidil, and local versus systemic treatment.
• Midi and Winona comparison prices and care-model terms from their own pages.

What QuickMD still does not publish clearly

• Which of the two visit prices controls every state’s checkout.
• One universal required lab list and a universal cash price.
• Exact manufacturer, NDC, strength, and quantity for every medication price card.
• The full dose-by-dose patch price range.
• Which home-delivery pharmacy fills each item before the order is assigned.
• A menopause-specific patient-outcome or service-quality dataset with transparent methodology.

The five-pillar read

Pillar	Our assessment
Clinical legitimacy	Real licensed-clinician infrastructure, live visits, named pharmacy partners, and published policies. Testosterone remains a controlled, compounded exception—not a casual add-on.
Care quality	A live consultation and quarterly follow-up guidance are positive signals. Menopause-specific independent evidence and public clinician-training detail remain thin.
Medication fit	Useful breadth across systemic oral, patch, and local vaginal routes. The public menu weakens itself by mixing compounded products, contraception, and minoxidil under one hormone-therapy umbrella.
Price transparency	Mixed. Most component prices are visible, but two live visit prices conflict, labs are unpriced, patch pricing is incomplete, and exact product details are missing.
Access	Phone/video care, local pharmacy choice, home delivery, and same-day marketing are useful. Public state availability is displayed in eight sections and must be rechecked at booking.

Who created this: The HRT Index Editorial Team. This is independent editorial research, not a clinical review. We did not receive QuickMD care, purchase medication, or test checkout with a live payment. The page tells you what the public evidence supports, what the math adds up to, and what to verify. It does not tell you what to take.

QuickMD HRT cost: frequently asked questions

QuickMD’s current cost can be answered only by separating the visit, medication, follow-ups, labs, pharmacy route, and policy fees. These answers summarize the verified details most likely to change the decision without repeating the full evidence above.

How much does QuickMD HRT cost?

QuickMD currently publishes both $79 and $99 per visit on live first-party pages. Medication is separate at $24 to a starting price of $64 per 30-day supply. Under a four-visit quarterly model, oral estradiol plus progesterone totals $952 to $1,032 before labs.

Is QuickMD HRT $79 a month?

No. The reviewed menopause page says $79 per visit, no subscription. A separate medication directory says $99 per visit, so confirm the final booking amount before paying.

Why does QuickMD show both $79 and $99?

QuickMD does not explain the discrepancy publicly. The menopause treatment and pricing surfaces show $79, while the hormone-medication directory shows $99. Until QuickMD fixes the conflict, both scenarios belong in the math.

How much are QuickMD’s HRT medications?

Published Home Delivery prices are estradiol tablets $24, minoxidil tablets $24, progesterone capsules $29, norethindrone tablets $29, Loestrin Fe $34, vaginal estradiol cream $39, estradiol + norethindrone $44, testosterone cream $59, vaginal estradiol inserts $59, estriol face cream $59, and estradiol patches from $64 per 30-day supply.

How often do QuickMD HRT follow-ups happen?

QuickMD says menopause hormone-therapy follow-ups are typically every three months or as advised by the clinician. Four paid visits during months 0, 3, 6, and 9 are therefore a reasonable first-year planning model, but your schedule may differ.

Are labs included in the QuickMD visit price?

No published QuickMD page says labs are included. QuickMD says MHT labs are typically required, publishes a separate broader recommended panel, and does not post one universal cash price. Ask for your required list and price in writing.

Does QuickMD take insurance for HRT?

QuickMD does not accept insurance for visit fees. You may be able to submit the visit summary for out-of-network reimbursement, and medication sent to your pharmacy may be covered under your drug benefit.

Can you use HSA or FSA at QuickMD?

QuickMD says HSA/FSA cards can typically be used for visits. Your plan administrator decides whether the exact expense qualifies, so confirm before relying on it.

Can QuickMD send a prescription to your own pharmacy?

Yes. QuickMD says the clinician can send it to a local pharmacy or, if eligible, use Home Delivery. Compare only after you know the exact drug, strength, quantity, and product.

Is QuickMD Home Delivery always cheaper?

No universal answer is supportable. A local pharmacy may be cheaper through insurance, cash pricing, or a discount card, but QuickMD’s public cards do not disclose enough product detail for a nationwide like-for-like comparison.

Are QuickMD’s medications FDA-approved?

Some listed categories have FDA-approved products, but QuickMD does not publish the exact product for every price card. Its testosterone cream and estriol face cream are compounded and not FDA-approved. Loestrin Fe is contraception, and oral minoxidil for hair loss is off-label and not HRT.

Does QuickMD prescribe testosterone to women?

QuickMD lists compounded testosterone cream at $59 per 30-day supply. Testosterone is Schedule III, requires a prescription and clinical evaluation, and no FDA-approved testosterone product is indicated for women.

Is QuickMD testosterone cream FDA-approved?

No. It is compounded. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved or premarket-reviewed by FDA for safety, effectiveness, and quality.

Is QuickMD’s estriol face cream FDA-approved?

No. FDA says there are no FDA-approved drugs containing estriol. Marketed estriol drug products in the United States are compounded.

Is Loestrin Fe menopause hormone therapy?

No. Its FDA label is for pregnancy prevention. A clinician may use combined hormonal contraception during perimenopause for appropriate patients, but that is a different treatment category from standard MHT.

Is oral minoxidil hormone therapy?

No. Oral minoxidil is an antihypertensive drug used off-label for hair loss. QuickMD lists it in the hormone-therapy area, but it should not be counted as a menopause hormone medication.

What happens if the QuickMD clinician will not prescribe what you ask for?

The completed visit is not refundable. QuickMD states that payment buys an evaluation and does not guarantee a specific prescription.

What states show QuickMD hormone therapy?

On August 25, 2026, QuickMD’s public state page displayed hormone therapy under California, Florida, Georgia, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Recheck the live page and booking flow because the list and appointment availability can change.

Is QuickMD cheaper than Midi or Winona?

For the modeled cash oral estradiol-plus-progesterone lane, QuickMD is $952 to $1,032 with four visits before labs. Midi’s comparable four-visit self-pay care scenario is $700 before medication and labs; insurance may lower it. Winona’s lowest published oral combination is about $1,209 across thirteen 28-day cycles, with asynchronous care included.

Is QuickMD legit?

QuickMD has licensed-clinician infrastructure, live phone/video visits, physician-owned affiliated practices, named pharmacy partners, published legal policies, and a displayed LegitScript certification. The unresolved issue is not whether the service exists; it is the inconsistent public price and incomplete all-in cost.

---

What should you do if QuickMD still looks like the best fit?

Verify the live checkout price in your state, ask the eight questions above, and treat the visit as payment for clinical judgment—not a guaranteed prescription. If insurance billing matters more than a low cash visit fee, check Midi before paying QuickMD.

If the reason you have not started is that every option looked more expensive or more complicated than you could justify, QuickMD may still be the cleanest cash-pay door.

But the honest price is not “$79 and done.” It is a visit price that currently conflicts across QuickMD’s own pages, recurring follow-ups, medication, and whatever labs your clinician requires.

That is not a reason to rush. It is a reason to stop postponing the conversation after you know what the conversation will actually cost.

Two situations, two next steps:

• Paying cash and comfortable with pay-per-visit care? Check QuickMD’s live menopause checkout, verify $79 versus $99, and keep the eight-question card open.
• Have insurance you want used for the appointment? Check Midi before paying cash.
