Fountain HRT, a hyper-personalized treatment that gets better over time.

Fountain offers HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) for women, Fountain TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) for men and also Fountain GLP for Weight Loss.


It's hyper-personalized treatment that gets better over time. Their providers will fine-tune your treatment month after month with the help of ongoing video visits to hear how you're feeling and by monitoring your lab results. You and your provider work hand-in-hand to make adjustments — until it's perfect.


Fountain takes great pride in offering High-Touch Concierge Support for their HRT and TRT programs. They offer an unparalleled concierge experience. Their team will schedule your lab appointments, handle any shipping logistics and send you reminders as needed. The indicate they will respond within 10 minutes of receiving a message.




Fountain includes their Concierge Servicer for HRT and TRT clients.

Fountain HRT & TRT All Inclusive Treatment Plans/Memberships


  • Pro-Plan $150/4 Weeks (billed every 48 weeks) $1,799 out of pocket initially

  • Standard Plan $167/4 Weeks (billed every 12 weeks) $499 out of pocket initially

  • Starter Plan $199/4 Weeks $199 out of pocket initially


Subscription plans cover the cost of medication(s), supplies, provider video 1:1 visits, labs (except in NY/NJ) shipping, taxes and 24/7 Support.


There are various way to get access to HRT prescriptions. If you want support of Menopause Society trained doctor, I'd check out Inner Balance or MyMenopauseRX. If you don't want to be bothered with doctor visits, you could check out Winona or Alloy, they do all their communication via their patient portal. They'll send your prescriptions directly to their partner compound pharmacy and they will be shipped directly to you.


HRT requires a prescription from a doctor licensed in your state. Currently I'm using Inner Balance and experiencing the best sleep of my life.



Each patient is prescribed a Hormone Therapy kit that is customized to them.

How to get Started with Fountain HRT


  1. Take Fountain 5-minute Quiz

  2. Fountain's Concierge Service will reach out to schedule 45 Minute Video Visit

  3. Schedule Labs if needed

  4. Start Treatment in days - medication delivered directly to your door


As part of the monthly subscription, comprehensive labs are included. Labs monitor 14+ health biomarkers. Your labs can be at a LabCorp location that is convenient for you, or you can upgrade to at-home lab collection.

Fountain's HRT Program for Women Includes Testosterone


During peri & menopause, testosterone levels can drop, affecting libido, body fat, energy levels, bone density, and more. These are called "testosterone-specific symptoms." This can be a factor if you find your current HRT isn't meeting your expectations.


Many of the HRT companies that I've been a patient of, don't offer Testosterone, so if you know you want to consider Testosterone, Fountain is one to consider and also consider Joi Women's Wellness. Joi offers hormone testing for women and can prescribe testosterone if you are in need of that. Click on this link for 50% off your first set of Joi labs. Price includes 30-minute consult once labs are returned to review together with your assigned Joi HRT clinician.


So why are other programs unable or unwilling to offer testosterone? Answer: It requires complex hands-on care, face-to-face video visits and comprehensive labs. Not all telehealth providers are set up to be able to test for Testosterone or to prescribe Testosterone.


Fountain can include Testosterone, if appropriate with your HRT Therapy.

Can Fountain help me with Weight Loss


Yes, they offer a package that includes GLP-1 medications, like compounded Semaglutide and compounded Tirzepatide. Treatments are personalized in precise dosages to maximize results.


This program is $300 per month, which includes the compounded versions of either of the two GLP-1 medications, the telemedicine visits and free shipping of medications directly to your door.



Can I use my medical and prescription Insurance


Fountain doesn't accept medical or prescription insurance. You can begin your visit and make decisions on which plan you want to purchase without having to get a pre-authorization or approval from your insurance provider.



Expert providers customize your medication in precise, personalized dosages.

Will Fountain accept my HSA credit card?


Yes, you can use your HSA credit card or any other credit card that you choose.



Fountain HRT Program, Cost and Review - is it Worth It


As a point of reference, I pay $99 per month for my HRT with Inner Balance.


  • My regimen includes free 20 Minute 1:1 Consultation at specific intervals and free communication on small matters

  • My regimen doesn't include Testosterone which is the most expensive product in an HRT Therapy (Testosterone injections are approximately $60 per month)

  • My regimen is one product rather than three, which is what most therapies require for maximum benefits (patch, progesterone tablets and vaginal estradiol cream)


If you like the idea of an all-inclusive plan, then this could be a great fit for you.


However, if you want simple HRT and don't want to be bothered with consultation visits, you might also check out Winona or Alloy. If you want to check out a provider who operates in much the same way as Fountain HRT and offers Testosterone, check out Joi Women's Wellness. If you want the benefit of speaking to a real doctor who is certified by the Menopause Society, then I'd check out Inner Balance or MyMenopauseRx.

Welcome

I am an HRT patient reviewer of online platforms. I've become a patient & paid out of pocket (sometimes with & sometimes without insurance) for every HRT product I've tried and review. These reviews are my honest experience as I continue to navigate menopause, just like you!
