The True Costs of an HCG Program

The price of an HCG program depends on more than your choice of clinic, telehealth provider, or pharmacy. What they bundle into a monthly or per-visit fee—and what they bill separately—can put the decision centers on the billing. The overall price is made up of multiple factors including consultation fees, lab tests, the HCG preparation itself, and follow-up care. And those break out very differently by provider and model.

What the Bill is Made Of

Most HCG programs are priced as packages of at least three components:

• A consultation with a provider, which may be a one-time appointment or included in a monthly subscription
• Lab work to set up and monitor the regimen, which may be billed separately or bundled with the consultation
• HCG injections, which can be priced per vial, package, or as part of the consultation fee, and
• Follow-up appointments or lab checks, which are often more frequent early in the program.
• Some providers bundle consultation fees with subscription plans.
• The InstaCare Online subscription includes quarterly telemedicine consultations, blood tests, and HCG injection supplies for $199 to $179 a month. But you still pay for the intake analysis separately at $299.
• Others charge for each visit.
• Revive Low T bills intake and follow-up appointments separately. The intake appointment is $250 and follow-ups are $147. Over 6 months, that adds $1,184 to the cost before lablabs or injections.
• Labs add a separate line item in many programs. You may pay $159 to $217 per visit, or $1,272 to $2,520 over six months, according to Revive prices.

Some providers include HCG within the package, while others price the vials separately. Clinic consultations often bundle the injection supplies at no extra charge, while compounding pharmacies sell the vials on their own. Defy Medical lists single HCG vials at $80 to $150.

Clinic Route

Most clinic consultations include the initial analysis, provider access, program, and follow-ups in one fee. That fee also often covers lab tests and injection supplies. In-person clinicians typically don’t itemize the HCG, but compounded HCG sourced from a pharmacy falls under stronger regulatory scrutiny (see “Medication and Pharmacy”). Most clinic consultations include the initial analysis, provider access, program, and follow-ups in one fee.

The bundled clinic model also brings a higher inflated price for labs and venipunctures than the telehealth model. At Revive Low T, venipuncture is $13 a visit and lab tests range from $159 to $217 per visit. An HCG program of six lab sessions at Revive Low T costs $954 to $1,302 for lab panels, plus $78 for venipunctures, totaling $1,032 to $1,380 in lab costs.

Telehealth Route

Telehealth picks come closer than clinic consultations to the monthly subscription model. Telehealth providers often charge membership subscription fees to access provider consultations and some lab tests, then charge extra for labs or consultations depending on the provider. moonlight on monthly fees, but some still itemize labs or consultations. InstaCare Online lists a $299 intake fee plus $199 to $269 monthly subscription plans for consultations and lab tests, with HCG vials included. The subscription total of $1,197 to $1,614 includes consultations and labs, but not the first analysis at $299. Other providers lean toward a la carte billing. Dr. Hirt lists telehealth consultations at $117, triage at $60, and after-hours visits at $704. While telehealth providers exist that take a subscription approach, it’s far from the norm.

Medication and Pharmacy

Compounded HCG, which telehealth providers and compounding pharmacies sell as part of HCG programs, is not regulated as a routine pharmacy item. The FDA has enforced warning letters to compounding pharmacies and defended that biologics such as HCG foregos the biologics license application. Compounded HCG, which telehealth providers and compounding pharmacies sell as part of HCG programs, is not regulated as a routine pharmacy item. The FDA has enforced warning letters to compounding pharmacies and defended that biologics such as HCG require no biologics license application (BLA). The FDA's warning to the HCG Institute and the biologic compounding statement were delivered in August 2025 and the combination in 2022, respectively. Despite FDA scrutiny, compounded HCG vendors have recently charged from $80 to $150 per vial. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate compounded HCG as a routine pharmacy item. In August 2025, the FDA sent a warning letter to the HCG Institute for offering compounded drug products without a biologics license. In 2022, the FDA informed the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) that biologics such as HCG should not be compounded without a biologics license application (BLA). Defy Medical lists HCG injection vials at $80 to $150 from a compounding pharmacy. Vendors offering the full regimen of compounded HCG and labs have reported prices ranging from $50 to $800 in the recent past. Talon Compounding Pharmacy issued a voluntary recall in 2016 for all lots of compounded HCG, reporting a lack of sterility assurance.

Why Prices are Hard to Compare

Providers can price consultation, labs, injection, and follow-ups in any combination. Consultation fees with follow-ups can set the prices anywhere from $850 to $3,000 for visits alone, in a program with six set consultation days. InstaCare Online stands as a clear instance of this. They charge one $299 intake fee, while billing an ongoing monthly subscription from $199 to $269, depending on the program. Following the same initial consultation, Revive Low T charges an extra $300 in fees for the lablabs and bloodwork that InstaCare includes in the subscription. Labs alone amount to a six-month total averaging $1273 just at Revive, which charges this separately.

Adding to the complexity is that labs may or may not be bundled with subscriptions, consultation, or appointments. InstaCare includes labs in the subscription, while Defy and Revive charge separately.

The takeaway

When shopping for an HCG program, rely less on the sticker price of consultation and more on whether that price covers the full program or just a part of it. Telecom providers bundle consultations, labs, and injections into monthly fees, but some still bill labs or consultations separately. Clinic consultations bundle local visits, but suppliers of the non-FDA-regulated HCG injection rely on pharmacies under FDA scrutiny.
