Core Medical Group TRT Cost: Prices, Fees, and First-Year Math (2026)

By TRT Provider Guide · Cost guide based on public-source research · Last verified: October 2026 (the Core pages cited below were checked October 7, 2026) · Not medically reviewed

Last updated: .

Core Medical Group TRT cost is advertised at $149 or $189 every five weeks, depending on which of Core's own pages you land on. Lab and onboarding fees vary by offer. The $1,320 annual plan leaves full-year coverage unclear. Confirm the offer, payment schedule and extra charges before treating a subtotal as your first-year bill.

Best for: adult men with confirmed low testosterone whose clinician recommends TRT, who want one advertised bundle that includes medicine, needles and shipping, are willing to review 12-month terms, and may value Core's listed offices in Florida, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Mississippi or Ohio.

Probably not for you if: you need a clear month-to-month exit, you need a published price for testosterone without the two add-on medicines, you're trying to have a child, or Core won't give you written terms before you pay.

That last detail is why this page exists. Core runs several sign-up pages at once, each with its own price, its own fees and its own fine print. None of the reviewed offer pages gives current cancellation terms for that offer. Below, we put the Core offers we checked side by side, do the year-one math for each one, and give you the exact questions that turn a headline price into a number you can budget.

One reader on Reddit, u/troublestick79, put the problem in a single line: "I cant really figure out what it would cost a month." By the end of this page, you'll know how to compare the prices and what Core still needs to put in writing.

Which Core Medical Group TRT cost offer applies to you?

Core lists different prices and fees on different signup pages. Ask which offer applies to you before using any of these numbers as your budget.

What we actually verified

Checked October 7, 2026. We read every Core offer page listed above, plus Core's Telehealth Services, Book Now, Military Focus, Hampstead, Our Team and Terms & Conditions pages.

Confirmed on Core's own pages: every price, package contents, lab and onboarding fee, and commitment phrase in the table; the 47-state telehealth claim; the stated physical-exam interval of every 8 months or as the medical team recommends; listed office addresses; and that Core's linked "Terms & Conditions" page covers text messages, not patient billing.

Provider-stated, not independently confirmed: "licensed in 47 states," "guaranteed pricing," "no surprise increases or hidden fees," and the military discount.

Not confirmed for these advertised plans: the exact testosterone product, its strength and the dispensing pharmacy; the number and price of initial and repeat tests; current cancellation, refund and renewal terms; the complete state list; and the dollar amount of the military discount.

What we did not do: get a personal quote, sign up, or test Core as patients. This is a cost guide, not a hands-on review.

How much does Core Medical Group TRT cost per month?

Core Medical Group lists its TRT program at $149 or $189 per five-week package, which works out to about $129 or $164 per month. A partner offer lists $389 per 10 weeks, about $169 per month. Each listed package advertises testosterone, anastrozole, enclomiphene, needles and shipping.

Here's the thing most people miss. Core advertises the five-week box, not a calendar month. If Core charges each box upfront every 35 days from day 0, that means 11 payments in your first 365 days, fewer than 12 tidy monthly bills.

To compare Core fairly with a clinic that charges monthly, spread the box price over the same time:

Core Medical Group TRT cost table 2: How much does Core Medical Group TRT cost per month?
Package Price Advertised days per package Monthly equivalent
General 5-week page $189 35 $164.25
Signup and military pages $149 35 $129.49
Partner offer $389 70 $169.03

Our math: price × 365 ÷ advertised days per package ÷ 12.

A "monthly equivalent" helps you compare. It is not what leaves your bank account each month. On a five-week offer, you would pay the full box price every 35 days if Core bills each box upfront on that schedule.

Why does Core show two different five-week prices?

Core runs more than one sign-up page at the same time. The $149 pages display February 2026 dates. The $189 page displays a June 2026 date. All were accessible when checked, so the advertised number differs by page.

Running several campaign pages at once is common in marketing. It doesn't mean anyone is hiding anything. But it does mean a newer page date doesn't prove the older price is gone, and the price on a page isn't automatically the price you'll get. Ask Core which offer applies to you, and get it in writing.

Is the $189 price per month or per five weeks?

Core's $189 page says both. The TRT-only card says "$189.00 Every 5 Weeks." The next card, which pairs TRT with a weight-loss medicine for $348 total, labels the TRT part "$189/MONTH." Twelve $189 payments total $2,268; eleven upfront $189 payments in a 365-day five-week model total $2,079. That $189 gap is worth one question on the phone, but these are different billing scenarios: the monthly wording is part of a combined offer, not a confirmed monthly price for TRT alone. Ask which schedule applies to your quote.

What will Core Medical Group TRT cost in your first year?

If Core charges 11 full five-week packages upfront and one listed cash lab fee applies, the subtotals are $1,738 on the $149 offer and $2,268 on the $189 offer. The $1,320 annual price plus the same page's $99 lab fee would be $1,419 if that fee applies; full-year coverage is unconfirmed. These examples exclude unconfirmed repeat labs, physical exams and other required charges.

This is our original offer-by-offer calculation. We assumed full package payments upfront from day 0, counted the payments inside your first 365 days, and added exactly one listed lab or onboarding fee from that same page, if applicable. We never mix a price from one page with a fee from another.

Model assumptions: prices stay the same and no cycle is skipped. Confirm that the listed fee applies to you and covers all initial testing.

Core Medical Group TRT cost table 3: What will Core Medical Group TRT cost in your first year?
Core offer Assumed payments in days 0–364 Package cost Published lab / onboarding fee (same page) Conditional subtotal before unconfirmed charges
$1,320 annual plan, cash labs 1 $1,320 $99 $1,419; annual coverage unconfirmed
$1,320 annual plan, insured onboarding 1 $1,320 $59 + any additional patient lab responsibility $1,379 + any additional patient lab responsibility; annual coverage unconfirmed
$149 every 5 weeks, cash labs 11 $1,639 $99 $1,738
$149 every 5 weeks, insured onboarding 11 $1,639 $59 + any additional patient lab responsibility $1,698 + any additional patient lab responsibility
$189 every 5 weeks, insured labs 11 $2,079 $69 $2,148 + any additional patient lab responsibility
$189 every 5 weeks, cash labs 11 $2,079 $189 $2,268
$389 every 10 weeks (partner, insured scenario) 6 $2,334 $69 insurance-related telehealth fee, if applicable; cash price not listed $2,403 + any additional patient lab responsibility

How we counted: we assume your first box is paid on day 0 and each later box is charged in full upfront. A five-week cycle then bills on days 35, 70, 105, 140, 175, 210, 245, 280, 315 and 350. That's 11 payments in your first year, not 12, and not the 10.4 you'd get by dividing 52 weeks by five. At the advertised five-week duration, the 11th box, paid on day 350, extends 20 days into year two. We assume the price doesn't change and no cycle is skipped. Your real invoice dates override all of this. The 10-week partner model has six payments, on days 0, 70, 140, 210, 280 and 350; its last package extends 55 nominal days into year two.

Still unconfirmed in these rows: repeat diagnostic and monitoring lab costs, any charge for the physical exam Core describes as due every 8 months or as its medical team recommends, extra clinician visits, and any other required fee or applicable tax. These are conditional examples, not a final bill or a verified minimum.

Does Core's $1,320 annual plan really cover a year?

Core says the annual plan gets you "2.5 orders per year" of "20 weeks at a time." Two and a half times 20 weeks is 50 weeks, or 350 days. Our comparison year is 365 days.

That doesn't prove you'd go 15 days without medicine. The shipment wording doesn't establish the actual annual quantity or coverage. But it's a question you should get answered before you prepay $1,320. Ask for the full 365-day coverage, shipment dates and any extra charge in writing.

Does the annual plan really save $100?

Core says the annual plan saves $100. On price alone, our math is friendlier to Core than that. Ten advertised five-week boxes at $149 total 350 nominal days and cost $1,490. The annual plan is $1,320. That's a $170 price difference; it becomes a like-for-like saving only if the contents, coverage and fees match. We have not confirmed that, and Core doesn't explain the $100 comparison.

The catch: you pay it all up front, and we did not verify what happens to a prepaid balance under these advertised plans if you stop early.

The right TRT provider is not the same for every person — it depends on whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated, your symptoms and health history, your fertility plans, your state, your insurance or cash-pay preference, your treatment-format preference, your budget, and whether online or in-person care is the better starting point. Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. Because a general answer cannot resolve those for you, use TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool to map your situation to the right care route and the questions to ask before you pay.

If these partial-cost examples fit your budget, the next step is a free call to complete your quote. Core's Book Now page says a patient coordinator will schedule a free consultation. Bring the questions from the checklist further down this page.

Request a free consultation with Core Medical Group →

This opens Core's consultation request form. It is not a price quote, an eligibility check or a prescription.

What does Core's TRT price include, and what's left out?

Core's $149 page advertises each five-week box with a 5 mL vial of testosterone, 10 anastrozole capsules, 10 enclomiphene capsules, all syringes and needles, and shipping. The $189 page says its listed lab fees include telehealth; the $149 page does not specify this. Current offer-specific repeat lab costs, physical exam costs and exit terms remain unconfirmed.

What's listed in the $149 five-week package

Core's $149 signup page and its military page list the exact contents:

  • One 5 mL vial of testosterone (the form, such as cypionate or enanthate, and the strength are not stated)
  • 10 anastrozole capsules
  • 10 enclomiphene capsules
  • All syringes and needles
  • Shipping

The $189 page and the partner page list the same three medicines, needles and shipping without quantities. The $149 offer names a vial; it does not price other formats. Our TRT treatment-options guide explains the questions to compare.

What the first fee covers

Core describes the start like this: you schedule an onboarding call and pay "the new patient and bloodwork fees," get blood drawn at a local lab (or, per the Book Now page, Core may arrange a phlebotomist to come to you), then review results in a telehealth exam. After that, you get a care plan and a patient coordinator. The $189 page says its lab fees "include telehealth." The $149 pages label $99 as uninsured labs and $59 as insured onboarding; they do not say that either fee includes the same visit. (Core's onboarding process, Book Now, $189 offer and $149 offer.)

Core also advertises a separate $399 wellness evaluation, with blood testing, a provider consultation, a plan with ongoing monitoring, a coordinator and a $100 credit toward the first order. Ask whether that offer applies instead of the fees above. Do not add it to another offer or subtract its credit unless Core confirms the terms. (Core evaluation.)

Can you use labs you already have?

Maybe. Core's Book Now page says that if you have bloodwork less than a year old with the required tests, Core "may use it if it meets our criteria." Ask whether that lowers your first fee. A clinician can still order new tests.

Does the first fee cover both morning testosterone tests?

We did not verify that any listed fee includes two separate early-morning tests. Ask Core how many diagnostic blood draws are needed, which tests are included, and what a repeat draw costs; the clinical evaluation requirements are explained below.

How many tests are in Core's blood panel?

Core's pages don't agree. One landing page calls it a 22-biomarker test and also says it measures "over 40 biomarkers." The same page mentions a 26-panel test. The partner page says 28 panel. Ask for the actual lab order with each test named. (Core evaluation and partner offer.)

Costs not confirmed for these offers

These are the costs that can turn a roughly $1,700 subtotal into something bigger. We did not confirm them for these offers:

  1. Repeat monitoring labs. How often, and what each one costs. Core's evaluation page says follow-up testing is as needed; that does not give a priced schedule for these offers.
  2. The physical exam. Core's Telehealth page says you'll need to "provide us with a physical exam report every 8 months." The page also says Core will conduct the exam every 8 months or as its medical team recommends, so confirm who performs it and what it costs.
  3. Extra clinician visits beyond the first telehealth exam.
  4. What happens if your prescription changes. The $149 offer lists one 5 mL vial per box. Ask whether the price changes if your clinician changes your plan.
  5. A price for testosterone alone, without anastrozole and enclomiphene.
  6. Your renewal price after the first 12 months.
  7. Cancellation and refund terms, including whether your first fee is refunded if a clinician decides TRT isn't right for you.

Core says you get a patient coordinator and can speak with a doctor or pharmacist about your plan. We did not verify response times, included extra clinician visits or refill lead times. Ask who handles medical questions, what labs or visits authorize each refill, and what happens if a shipment is delayed. Auto-shipping is not a promise of automatic prescription renewal. (Core: Book Now and wellness evaluation.)

Does Core Medical Group require a contract, and can you cancel?

Core advertises 12-month pricing or auto-shipping terms: its $189 page lists a "12 Month Contract for Pricing," and its $149 pages describe a 12-month auto-shipping program. We did not verify current cancellation, refund or renewal terms for these offers, so get the minimum obligation in writing.

What the 12-month pricing promises you

Core says it locks your price. Core's $149 pages promise "guaranteed pricing for the full year" and "no surprise increases." If your clinician has recommended TRT and you plan to stay a year, a confirmed price lock is a real benefit.

What it doesn't tell you

The reviewed offers don't say what you owe if you stop at month three, whether you get money back on a prepaid annual plan, or whether the plan renews on its own. The first months of TRT can bring changes: a clinician may adjust your prescription, a side effect may show up, or labs may say TRT isn't the right call. A commitment signed before those answers is the risk. The $189 page also uses language about avoiding a long-term financial commitment, despite its 12-month pricing line. That conflict is another reason to ask for the patient agreement.

Older patient paperwork on Core's legacy site includes appointment-cancellation language, but we could not verify that it governs these offers.

Replying STOP is not a treatment cancellation

Core's linked "Terms & Conditions" page governs text messages. Replying STOP ends marketing texts. That page does not say STOP cancels a treatment plan or stops billing. You'll need the actual patient agreement for that.

The honest trade-off

We did not confirm a no-contract price or current cancellation terms for Core's advertised plans. If being able to leave any month is your top priority, Male Excel is worth comparing: its pricing page says "No Contract, Cancel Anytime," and its homepage FAQ says you can pause treatment through Member Support. But Core's lower advertised subtotals do not prove a lower full-year bill: testing, exam costs, medicine contents and payment schedules differ. For a reader who's sure about a year of treatment, that trade can make sense once the complete quote and exit terms are in writing.

Here's how the two compare on their own published numbers:

Refund promise Current offer-specific terms unconfirmed 90-day guarantee on the first three membership fees if symptoms don't improve, under its stated conditions; medicine costs are excluded

Male Excel figures checked October 7, 2026 on maleexcel.com. Its pricing page says medication cost changes with your prescribed dose. Male Excel says it does not serve Mississippi, where Core lists an office. Sources: pricing, $99 startup and test, program details, terms and guarantee.

Male Excel's $99 startup includes the clinician consultation and home test; it is not two separate $99 fees. Its injection-and-thyroid price starts at $120 per month, with medicine billed every other month as a 60-day supply, plus shipping. That gives a $2,727 12-month rate model, not a verified 365-day invoice calendar. If full $240 medicine charges instead repeat strictly every 60 days from day 0, seven fall within 365 days; with 12 membership charges and startup, that scenario is $2,967 before shipping. Ask which payment calendar applies.

The guarantee requires new members to follow the prescribed protocol continuously for 90 days and request a refund within 30 days after that period, with adherence documented. It covers the first three membership payments, not medicine or shipping. Cancel-anytime wording does not promise an immediate refund or reversal of an order; confirm when cancellation takes effect and what happens to medication already ordered. (Male Excel guarantee and terms.)

Does Core Medical Group take insurance, HSA or FSA?

Core's Hampstead, North Carolina page says Core "operates on a private-pay model"; confirm coverage for your specific offer. The $149 pages list $59 insured onboarding, while the $189 page lists $69 insured labs; cash lab fees are $99 or $189 depending on the offer. Core's military page says it accepts HSA and FSA cards.

What "labs with insurance" means

Core lists insurance-related fees, but the reviewed pages do not explain the full billing flow. The $59 is labeled onboarding; the $69 on the $189 page is labeled labs including telehealth. Ask what the lab bills to insurance, whether you owe a copay or deductible, and whether Core's fee covers all your patient responsibility. (Core $149 offer and $189 offer.)

Budget for the medicine yourself unless coverage is confirmed

The reviewed TRT offers do not establish insurance payment for the medicine package. Plan on paying the box price yourself unless Core and your insurer confirm otherwise. (Core Hampstead.)

Using HSA or FSA money

Core's military page says it is "NOW ACCEPTING HSA & FSA CARDS," and its $189 page says "Accepts FSA/HSA." A card being accepted isn't the same as your plan approving the expense. Check with your account administrator, and keep your receipts. (IRS Publication 969.)

Need insurance to cover most of your care? A cash-pay program like Core's may not be your best route. Compare options in our guide to TRT providers that take insurance.

Is there a Core Medical Group military or veteran discount?

Core says it offers "a deep discount" to veterans, active-duty members and first responders on new-patient signup, blood work and yearly TRT pricing. But Core's dedicated First Responders & Military page lists the same $149 price and the same fees as its general signup page. The reviewed pages do not give the discount amount.

Core leans hard into the military community. It runs a nonprofit, the Core Medical Foundation, that advertises an annual veterans' retreat, and its partner list is full of veterans. That's real. Florida lists the foundation as an active nonprofit corporation; the foundation's 2026 event listing and Core's partner biographies document that community focus.

The pricing is less clear. Here's what we found on October 7, 2026:

  • Core's Military Focus page promises a "deep discount for new patient signups, blood work and yearly pricing of TRT."
  • Core's First Responders & Military signup page shows $149 every five weeks, $99 uninsured labs, $59 insured onboarding and a $1,320 annual plan.
  • Core's general signup page shows the exact same numbers.

We could not establish how the advertised discount relates to these identical prices. Ask for your discounted year-one total in writing, and ask what the price would be without the discount so you can see the real savings.

What medicines are in Core's TRT package — FDA-approved or compounded?

Core's advertised TRT package lists testosterone, anastrozole and enclomiphene, but the reviewed offers do not identify the exact testosterone product or pharmacy. Enclomiphene has no FDA-approved version in the U.S.; approved anastrozole tablets treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women, and use in male TRT is off-label. Core advertises anastrozole capsules, whose exact product and approval status we have not verified.

These are three different medicines. Only one of them is testosterone.

Core Medical Group TRT cost table 5: What medicines are in Core's TRT package — FDA-approved or compounded?
Medicine What it is, in plain words FDA status What to ask Core
Testosterone The hormone itself. It's a Schedule III controlled substance and requires a valid prescription. Depends on the exact product. FDA-approved testosterone injections exist, and so do compounded versions. The reviewed offers do not identify which Core uses. Which product, what strength, made by which manufacturer or compounding pharmacy, and dispensed by which pharmacy?
Anastrozole A pill that lowers how much estrogen your body makes. FDA-approved anastrozole tablets are used for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Use in men on TRT is off-label. Core's advertised capsules are not identified as a specific approved product. What is the exact capsule product, and is it compounded? Why do I need it? Is it optional? Is the price lower without it?
Enclomiphene A pill that can increase hormone signals from the brain to the testes, supporting the body's own testosterone production. It is not testosterone. No FDA-approved enclomiphene product exists in the U.S. FDA's 2022 review noted that no approved drug contained enclomiphene as its active ingredient; its May 2026 list places enclomiphene citrate among compounding ingredients still under evaluation. That listing is not drug approval. Why is it included? Who makes and dispenses it, and is it compounded?

Compounded means a medication is prepared by combining or changing ingredients for a patient's medical needs. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, which means FDA doesn't review their safety, effectiveness or quality before they're sold. We have not confirmed who makes Core's enclomiphene, who dispenses it, or whether the supplied product is compounded. That does not prove Core's testosterone is compounded. It just means you should ask. (FDA: compounded drugs; OPSS: enclomiphene approval status.)

An advertised bundle does not establish that you need every listed medicine. Ask the clinician to explain each prescription and Core to quote any change separately.

If you specifically want an FDA-approved testosterone product, ask Core to name it before you pay. If they can't, a clinician who prescribes through a regular retail pharmacy, possibly billed to your insurance, is the more direct route.

If you want children, stop here first

Testosterone from outside your body can lower or shut down sperm production. The Endocrine Society's guideline advises against starting testosterone in men who plan to have children in the near term. Core's advertised box includes enclomiphene, but the reviewed pages do not establish that the package protects fertility, and no add-on can guarantee it. (Endocrine Society guideline.)

If a baby is part of your plans, talk with a urologist or reproductive urologist before you sign up for any TRT program. Our page on fertility questions to ask before TRT walks you through it.

A package isn't a diagnosis

Paying for a TRT program doesn't mean you have low testosterone. The Endocrine Society's guideline says diagnosis takes symptoms or signs plus testosterone levels that are low more than once, confirmed with a repeat early-morning, fasting blood test. One number isn't enough. Neither is a symptom quiz. (Endocrine Society guideline and July 2026 statement.)

A clinician also needs to check why levels are low and whether TRT fits your health history. Ask who will review symptoms and follow-up blood tests, including testosterone and hematocrit (the percentage of blood volume made up of red cells), and whether those checks cost extra. Our TRT blood-testing guide explains the testing questions to bring. (Full Endocrine Society guideline.)

Can you get Core Medical Group TRT online in your state?

Core says it can treat patients in 47 states, but we did not find a complete current state list in the reviewed pages. Core describes most steps as remote, with bloodwork and a physical-exam requirement; confirm your testing arrangements and exam schedule. The federal exception for qualifying audio-video prescribing by DEA-registered practitioners without a prior in-person evaluation runs through December 31, 2026; federal and state conditions still apply.

Which states Core serves

Core's homepage says Core is "licensed in 47 states." Its partner page says "47 states fully licensed for telehealth model." We did not find a complete current state list in the reviewed pages. Ask Core to confirm your state and the name of the clinician who would prescribe for you.

Core also lists office addresses: Boca Raton, Florida (two locations, including its corporate office); Lexington, Massachusetts; Syosset, New York; Hampstead, North Carolina; Kosciusko, Mississippi; and Youngstown, Ohio. If you live near one, ask whether that location offers the in-person TRT appointment you need. (Core office listings.) Our online-vs-local TRT guide can help you compare the care models.

What still has to happen in person

Core's Telehealth page says most steps happen remotely; it describes local bloodwork and a physical exam report every 8 months, or as Core's medical team recommends. Its Book Now page also mentions a visiting phlebotomist and conditional acceptance of recent labs. Ask who does that exam and what it costs. (Core telehealth and booking process.)

What changes after December 31, 2026?

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. Normally, federal law requires an in-person medical evaluation before a clinician prescribes a controlled substance by telehealth. The DEA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have extended a temporary exception that lets DEA-registered practitioners prescribe through qualifying audio-video visits without a prior in-person evaluation through December 31, 2026, subject to other federal requirements. State laws still apply. (DEA extension.)

What happens after that date depends on whether the government extends the rule again or finalizes a permanent one. If you're starting care now, ask Core how it will handle new and existing patients if the rule changes.

Who should choose Core Medical Group, and who should skip it?

Core may fit adult men with confirmed low testosterone whose clinician recommends TRT, who want a bundled price, are willing to review 12-month terms, and may value a listed office once services are confirmed. Anyone planning children should discuss fertility first. Anyone who needs a no-contract option or a testosterone-only price should confirm those options before paying.

If this sounds like you… Here's your best next step
Your clinician recommends TRT, you want a low listed prepaid package price, and a 12-month plan is fine Core's $1,320 annual plan is paid upfront. Ask Core to show the full 365-day cost and coverage.
You're a veteran, active duty or a first responder Ask Core for the discounted year-one total in writing, next to the undiscounted price.
You live near a Core office Ask whether that location offers the in-person TRT care you want.
You want to be able to stop any month Core advertises 12-month pricing or auto-shipping terms; confirm the minimum obligation. Compare Male Excel's costs and exit terms.
You don't want an estrogen blocker unless your clinician finds a reason for it Ask Core whether anastrozole is optional. If not, compare a provider whose protocol doesn't add it by default.
You want a specific FDA-approved testosterone product Ask Core to name its product first. A clinician prescribing through a retail pharmacy may be more direct.
You need insurance to pay for treatment Core's Hampstead page describes a private-pay model; confirm coverage for your offer. See TRT providers that take insurance.
You want children now or in the future See a urologist or reproductive urologist before any TRT program.
You haven't had two low early-morning testosterone tests Start with a proper evaluation, through Core or your own doctor, before choosing a package.
You're not sure which of these you are Use Find My TRT Path.

What should you ask Core Medical Group before you pay?

Ask Core for a dated, itemized first-year quote, a payment calendar, and the patient agreement for your specific offer. The checklist below turns Core's headline price into a full budget and covers costs and terms not confirmed for these offers: repeat labs, physical exams, medicine details and exit terms.

Print this, or keep it open during your call. For each line, mark the answer Included, Separate charge, Doesn't apply or Don't know yet. Never write $0 for something you don't know.

Your first-year budget = every payment due in your first 365 days + every separate required charge (labs, exams, visits) − any credit you can actually use (like the $100 credit on Core's $399 evaluation). Don't count a fee twice if the package already covers it. Keep optional extras on their own line. If any required number is still "don't know," your total is a known subtotal, not a full budget.

Copy-and-paste request for Core

Please tell me which TRT offer applies to me, and send a dated, itemized estimate for my first year. Show each payment date, the period each payment covers, and every separate required charge, including first and repeat labs, follow-up visits, the physical exam, medicine, supplies, shipping and any membership or administrative fees.

Please also name the prescribing clinician, the dispensing pharmacy, and the exact testosterone product, including whether it is FDA-approved or compounded, along with the reason for each additional medicine.

Before I pay, I need the minimum commitment, renewal price, cancellation steps, refund terms, and how to get my records. If I'm not prescribed treatment, which charges would I still owe?

How did we check Core Medical Group's prices?

We compared the listed Core offer pages, recorded each price with its own fees and displayed date, and modeled conditional first-year subtotals from the advertised package periods. We didn't get a personal quote or sign up as patients, so we label every number we couldn't confirm as unknown, not zero.

We reviewed Core under our method, How We Review TRT Providers. It separates four kinds of information: facts we verified, things the provider says, customer experiences, and our own editorial conclusions. It also counts complete cost instead of repeating a teaser price. We did not assign Core a score or star rating in this cost guide.

The math is reproducible. Monthly equivalent = price × 365 ÷ advertised days per package ÷ 12. In the model, year-one payments = every assumed billing date from day 0 through day 364. We never combine a price from one Core page with a fee from another.

A note on the name. Core Medical Group (coremedicalgrp.com) is the Boca Raton, Florida hormone clinic founded by CEO Sidney Gordon. It is not CoreMedical Group (coremedicalgroup.com), a nurse-staffing agency with a nearly identical name. Reviews, jobs and pay figures for the staffing company have nothing to do with TRT. Core's team page lists Krzysztof Kacprzak as Chief of Medicine and Brianna Ciccone, PA, as Director of Clinical Operations, along with several nurse practitioners and physician assistants. We have not independently verified the clinician who would treat you or their authority to prescribe in your state.

Core's prices and telehealth rules can change. The "Last verified" date at the top changes only when we actually re-check.

Read our editorial standards and authorship and medical-review policy. If you spot a changed price or term, use our corrections page; our privacy policy explains how the site handles information.

What else should you know about Core Medical Group TRT cost?

Core's public pages answer the headline-price question but leave parts of the full bill and exit terms unresolved. These answers separate the advertised numbers from what you still need in your quote.

Is Core Medical Group TRT $149 or $189?

Both prices are live on Core's website. The $149 offer appears on Core's general signup page and its First Responders & Military page (displaying February 2026 dates). The $189 offer appears on its 5-Week TRT Program page (displaying a June 2026 date). Ask Core which applies to you and get it in writing.

How much is Core Medical Group TRT per month?

About $129 a month on the $149 offer and about $164 a month on the $189 offer, when you spread the five-week price over a year. If Core charges full packages upfront every 35 days from day 0, that means 11 payments in a 365-day comparison year. Confirm your invoice schedule.

How much is Core's annual TRT plan?

$1,320 as a one-time payment, according to Core's signup pages. Core's shipment wording combines 2.5 orders per year with 20 weeks at a time, which arithmetically implies 350 days. That does not establish actual coverage; ask how the plan covers 365 days.

How much are Core Medical Group's labs?

It depends on the page. The $149 pages list $99 labs without insurance and a $59 onboarding fee with insurance. The $189 page lists $69 labs with insurance and $189 without, including telehealth. Confirm which fee applies, whether it covers both morning diagnostic tests, and the cost of repeat testing.

Does Core Medical Group take insurance for TRT?

Core's Hampstead page describes a private-pay model, while the reviewed offers list insurance-related lab or onboarding fees. Confirm insurance coverage for your specific offer. Core advertises HSA and FSA acceptance; check expense eligibility with your account administrator.

Can I cancel Core Medical Group TRT?

We did not verify current cancellation or refund terms for these advertised plans. The pages mention 12-month pricing or auto-shipping terms, but the minimum obligation needs confirmation. Get the patient agreement and ask what you'd owe if you stop early, before you pay.

Does Core's price include needles and shipping?

The reviewed periodic TRT offers list needles and shipping. The $149 pages explicitly include syringes too.

Can I get testosterone from Core without anastrozole or enclomiphene?

The reviewed offer pages do not say. The periodic TRT offers we checked list both. Ask your clinician whether each one is medically needed for you, and whether the price changes without them.

Is Core's testosterone FDA-approved?

The reviewed offers do not identify the exact testosterone product or dispensing pharmacy. They list enclomiphene, which has no FDA-approved version in the U.S.; that does not tell you whether the testosterone is FDA-approved or compounded. Ask Core to name the exact testosterone product before you pay.

What states does Core Medical Group serve?

Core says it can treat patients in 47 states and lists office addresses in Florida, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Mississippi and Ohio. We did not find a complete current state list in the reviewed pages, so confirm your state, clinician and appointment availability before paying.

Do I have to see a doctor in person at Core?

Core's Telehealth page describes an eight-month physical-exam requirement, with timing also subject to its medical team's recommendation; confirm your exam schedule and bloodwork arrangements. The federal exception for qualifying audio-video prescribing by DEA-registered practitioners continues through December 31, 2026, subject to federal and state requirements. It does not remove Core's own exam requirement.

Is Core Medical Group the same as CoreMedical Group?

No. Core Medical Group (coremedicalgrp.com) is a hormone clinic based in Boca Raton, Florida. CoreMedical Group (coremedicalgroup.com) is a healthcare staffing agency.

Is this a Core Medical Group review?

No. It's a cost guide built from Core's public pages and our own calculations. We didn't sign up or test Core as patients.
