Hormone Pellet Training Course

Hormone pellet therapy is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) where small pellets containing testosterone or estradiol are implanted subcutaneously to provide consistent hormone delivery. Pellets are typically placed in the hip/buttock area and release hormones steadily over 3-5 months.

The Hormone Pellet Training Course costs $1,299 and includes hands-on training with anatomical models, all course materials and protocols, certificate of completion, and access to forms and consents.

This course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals including physicians (MD, DO), nurse practitioners (NP, APRN), physician assistants (PA, PA-C), and other providers with a background in hormone replacement therapy who want to add pellet implantation to their practice.

The hands-on portion includes trocar insertion technique using anatomical models, proper placement sites, sterile technique, dosing calculations, and post-procedure care. You'll practice the complete insertion procedure under faculty supervision.

Hormone pellets typically provide consistent hormone delivery for 3-5 months depending on the patient's metabolism and activity level. Most patients require pellet replacement 3-4 times per year.

Yes, most private insurance plans provide reimbursement for hormone pellet procedures and associated lab testing. The course covers ICD-10 coding and billing strategies to maximize reimbursement.

You'll need a trocar insertion kit (disposable or stainless steel), hormone pellets from a compounding pharmacy, local anesthetic, and standard sterile supplies. The course covers equipment options and pellet suppliers.

Average procedure fees range from $300-$500 depending on your market and the number of pellets inserted. Pellet costs are typically $100-$200, resulting in excellent profit margins. Many practices also bill for associated lab testing.

Hormone pellet therapy has a high safety profile when performed properly. Common minor side effects include bruising or discomfort at the insertion site. The course covers contraindications, adverse events, and complication management.
