In short

  1. Hone Health is run by Time Therapeutics, Inc. of New York. Physicians at 5 physician-owned practices its terms call Broad Health prescribe, and Hone shows a LegitScript seal (checked Oct 27, 2026).
  2. As of October 2026 you start with a $65 biomarker test and physician video consult. Testosterone cypionate is from $28 a month plus the $155 Premium membership: $183 a month in all.
  3. Hone’s clinical policy requires two separate testosterone readings, a one-on-one audio or video consult, and follow-up testing and consults every 90 days.
  4. Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. Prescribing it online without an in-person exam rests on a DEA rule that runs through Dec 31, 2026.
  5. On Oct 27, 2026, Hone scored 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 12,456 reviews, and it invites customers to review. The BBB rates its operator A+, with 125 complaints filed in 3 years.
  6. Hone’s testosterone injections, cream, troches and enclomiphene are compounded and not FDA-approved, and its FAQ says it serves 36 states.

The three highest-scored testosterone providers

Ranked by our published score.

  • Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance. Prescribing it online without an in-person exam relies on a temporary DEA and HHS rule that runs through December 31, 2026 (90 FR 61301), and it requires a live video visit with the prescriber and blood tests before you start.
  • Safety: Testosterone gel or cream carries a boxed warning for secondary exposure of children to testosterone gel. Read the safety information

Hone Health reviews are strongly positive: on Oct 27, 2026 it scored 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 12,456 reviews, though Hone invites its customers to leave them. It is a legitimate company, too: licensed physicians prescribe only after blood tests and a live video consult, and it shows a LegitScript seal. What deserves a closer look is the cost, because medication is billed on top of a $155 monthly membership, and the fact that its testosterone is compounded and prescribed online under a federal rule that runs only through Dec 31, 2026. Here is what we could confirm, as of October 2026.

Who runs Hone Health

Hone Health is the brand of Time Therapeutics, Inc., based in New York. Hone itself doesn’t practice medicine. Its terms of use, last revised Feb 24, 2026, say it provides administrative and technology services to physician-owned medical groups: Broad Health P.A., Broad Health of California, Broad Health of NC, Ivee Medical PC and IV Medical New York, which the terms call Broad Health together. Their physicians run the consults and write prescriptions, and Hone says they are paid for completing a consult, not according to what they prescribe.

Hone treats low testosterone, perimenopause and menopause, thyroid problems and weight, and sells longevity treatments and supplements. Its own FAQ says its services are available in 36 states; if you live elsewhere, Hone takes your email and tells you when it expands to your state.

Hone and Broad Health don’t sell, make or dispense medication. The terms say third-party pharmacies fill prescriptions and set their own prices, and you can ask Broad Health to send a prescription to the pharmacy of your choice. Hone doesn’t name those pharmacies on the pages we read.

Licensing, LegitScript and the FDA

LegitScript. Hone’s footer says “Hone Health is LegitScript Certified” and shows a seal. We checked on Oct 27, 2026 that the seal is served by LegitScript for www.honehealth.com and links to LegitScript’s lookup. LegitScript’s own lookup page blocked our automated request that day, so check it yourself at legitscript.com. Certification covers how a company operates against licensing and pharmacy rules, not the quality of its care.

Compounded products. Hone’s testosterone injection and enclomiphene pages say: “This is a compounded product and has not been approved by the FDA.” Its testosterone cream and troches are compounded as well. A compounding pharmacy prepares these for your prescription, and Hone’s pages add that the FDA does not verify the safety or effectiveness of compounded drugs. Its clomiphene and anastrozole are generic tablets of FDA-approved drugs, but both are used off-label in men.

FDA. We searched the FDA’s warning letter database for Hone Health on Oct 27, 2026 and found no letters. That database covers warning letters, not every FDA contact with a company.

Hone Health TRT: how it works

  1. Test. You buy a biomarker test of 50+ markers, including total and free testosterone, LH, estradiol, SHBG, PSA and liver enzymes. Hone offers a draw at one of 2,000+ Quest locations, a free at-home draw where available, or a mailed finger-prick kit; its kit instructions say to fast 10 to 12 hours and collect before 10 a.m.
  2. Consult. A Hone-affiliated physician reviews your results with you in a private one-on-one video consult.
  3. Confirm. Hone’s clinical policy lists what physicians require before prescribing testosterone: a diagnosis of hypogonadism supported by symptoms, labs and a questionnaire; two separate testosterone readings; a review of your fertility goals; and your agreement to follow-up testing and consults every 90 days.
  4. Treat. Options are compounded testosterone cypionate injections, cream or troches, compounded enclomiphene, clomiphene and anastrozole. Medication ships to you.

Two limits are worth knowing. Hone’s clinical policy says physicians prescribe only to men with symptoms and clinically low testosterone, and may decline because of age or lifestyle factors. And its terms say Broad Health providers don’t perform prostate cancer screening or rectal exams and don’t replace a primary care doctor, so keep your regular checkups.

Testosterone is a controlled substance

Testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance; the Depo-Testosterone label says so in its abuse and dependence section. Under the Ryan Haight Act, a clinician may prescribe a controlled substance remotely only after at least one in-person medical evaluation, with exceptions. The DEA and HHS fourth temporary extension (90 FR 61301) waives that for audio-video telemedicine visits from Jan 1 through Dec 31, 2026. If it isn’t extended or replaced, the in-person requirement returns on Jan 1, 2027. Hone’s video consult meets the audio-video condition; what happens in 2027 depends on the DEA. Enclomiphene, clomiphene and anastrozole aren’t controlled substances, so the rule doesn’t govern them. Our guide to TRT telehealth rules covers the details.

What Hone Health costs

ItemPrice, as of October 2026What to know
Biomarker test and physician consult$65 (listed at $165)50+ biomarkers; FSA/HSA eligible
Premium membership$155 a monthTesting and consults every 3 months, all Hone treatments; medication extra
Basic membership$25 a month, after a $25 test and a $25 onboarding feeTesting every 6 months; only treatments labeled Basic; consults cost extra
Testosterone cypionate injectionsFrom $28 a month, plus membershipCompounded; listed for tiers 2 and 3
Testosterone cream or trochesFrom $60 a month, plus membershipCompounded
EnclomipheneFrom $42 a month, plus membershipCompounded; Premium tier
Clomiphene citrateFrom $38 a month, plus membershipGeneric Clomid; off-label in men
Anastrozole$22 a month, plus membershipGeneric Arimidex; off-label in men

The membership is the bigger number. Injections at the lowest listed price come to $183 a month with Premium, so a first year costs at least $2,261 once you add the $65 test, before any dose-related price change. Hone doesn’t take insurance, and its “from” prices depend on dose. Hone says membership is month to month and can be cancelled anytime, and its terms say the account closes at the end of the billing period. Labs are a separate matter: the terms say the lab decides whether to refund a completed lab order, even if you don’t qualify for treatment. Our TRT cost guide compares typical monthly totals.

What reviewers say

Trustpilot. On Oct 27, 2026, Hone’s profile showed a TrustScore of 4.8 from 12,456 reviews: 93% five-star, 2% four-star, under 1% three- and two-star, and 3% one-star. Hone claimed the profile in June 2021, and Trustpilot notes that Hone invites its customers to review, whether positive or negative. In the recent reviews we read, five-star reviewers describe thorough doctors who explain lab results, feeling heard, and the convenience of at-home draws and delivery. One- and two-star reviewers describe billing disputes, refund requests that were refused or unanswered, delays in getting prescriptions, and automated support instead of a person.

BBB. The Better Business Bureau lists Time Therapeutics, Inc. (Hone) in New York as accredited since Dec 29, 2023, with an A+ rating, 125 complaints filed in the last 3 years and 359 customer reviews, as read on Oct 27, 2026.

The catches

  • Membership on top. Medication is billed in addition to $155 a month on Premium.
  • Compounded medicine. Hone’s testosterone and enclomiphene are compounded and not FDA-approved.
  • 36 states. Hone isn’t available everywhere.
  • Lab fees. A completed lab order may not be refundable, even if you aren’t prescribed anything.
  • No prostate exams. Its physicians don’t perform prostate cancer screening, so keep seeing your own doctor.
  • 2027 uncertainty. Online testosterone prescribing depends on the DEA rule that runs through Dec 31, 2026.

The bottom line

Hone Health is a legitimate telehealth company: separately owned physician practices prescribe after blood tests, two testosterone readings and a video consult, with follow-ups every 90 days, and it shows a LegitScript seal and has no FDA warning letter we could find. It is a lab-first service with a wide menu, and it is not cheap once the $155 Premium membership is added. Its testosterone is compounded, and most complaints reviewers raise are about billing and refunds rather than the doctors.

Other options

Several online clinics prescribe testosterone or enclomiphene with different pricing models. As of October 2026, PeterMD lists testosterone cypionate at $79 a month on a 12-month plan billed upfront, TRT Nation lists injections at $99.99 a month with $129 labs or your own recent labs, and Rex MD starts with labs and a video visit for $99, then $250 to $299 a month for generic testosterone cypionate, testosterone gel or clomiphene (off-label in men). Among providers we list, MangoRx offers compounded testosterone cypionate at $149 a month with lab work, provider visits and shipping included, and DudeMeds prescribes commercially made, non-compounded testosterone cypionate, with prices shown only after you pick your state. Our guides to getting TRT online, enclomiphene vs TRT and how to check your testosterone levels explain the choices, and our pages on testosterone injections and enclomiphene cover the medicines themselves.

Questions, answered

Is Hone Health legit?

Yes. Hone Health is run by Time Therapeutics, Inc., licensed physicians at affiliated physician-owned practices prescribe after lab tests and a video consult, and its site shows a LegitScript seal issued for honehealth.com. We found no FDA warning letter to Hone. Its testosterone products are compounded and not FDA-approved, which Hone states on its product pages.

How much does Hone Health cost?

As of October 2026, the first biomarker test with a physician consult is $65. Premium membership is $155 a month and medication is billed on top: testosterone injections from $28 a month, cream or troches from $60 and enclomiphene from $42. Injections with Premium come to $183 a month. Basic membership is $25 a month but covers only treatments Hone labels Basic.

How does Hone Health TRT work?

You order a 50+ biomarker blood test, then meet a Hone-affiliated physician by private video. Hone’s clinical policy says physicians prescribe testosterone only to men with symptoms and clinically low levels, confirmed by two separate readings, and require follow-up testing and consults every 90 days. Medication ships to your door.

Does Hone Health take insurance?

No. Hone says it doesn’t accept insurance. Its services may be FSA or HSA eligible depending on your plan, and Hone gives you a receipt to submit.

Can I cancel Hone Health?

Yes. Hone says membership is month to month and can be cancelled anytime; its terms say your account closes at the end of the current billing period. The terms also say the lab, not Hone, decides whether a completed lab order is refunded, even if you don’t qualify for treatment.

Will Hone still prescribe testosterone online after 2026?

That depends on federal rules. The DEA and HHS rule that lets clinicians prescribe controlled substances such as testosterone by telemedicine without an in-person exam runs through Dec 31, 2026. Unless it is extended or replaced, the in-person requirement returns on Jan 1, 2027. Enclomiphene and clomiphene aren’t controlled substances.
