If you’re looking into care for low testosterone or another hormone concern, it helps to know what you’ll pay before you start. At OPTIV Health, the costs fall into three parts:
This page explains each part, so you know what’s billed and who bills it.
Your consultation is a telehealth appointment by phone with an Australian-registered doctor. They’ll talk through your symptoms, health history, goals and any recent results, then decide whether testing or treatment is appropriate, or whether another pathway would suit you better.
Before any of that, you can book a free care call. It’s a short, no-obligation chat with our team about how the service works and whether it fits what you’re after. It isn’t a medical consultation.
Hormone results only mean something in context. Your doctor may ask for blood tests before making any decision, and repeat tests are common because hormone levels can change through the day and over time.

Not everyone who has an assessment is prescribed anything. If your doctor decides a medicine is clinically appropriate, it’s dispensed by a licensed Australian pharmacy, which sets the price. The price depends on what, if anything, is prescribed. Your doctor will talk you through it before you commit to anything.
Hormone care isn’t a one-off. Safe care involves regular reviews and repeat blood tests to check how you’re going and whether anything needs to change.
When you compare providers, it’s worth asking:
Be cautious of any service that promises a result or a prescription before you’ve been assessed.
