Course Overview
Hormone Pellet Implantation Training
Hormone pellet therapy has become the preferred method of bioidentical hormone replacement for both men and women due to its convenience, consistent delivery, and superior patient compliance. This $15 billion industry continues to grow as patients seek effective solutions for age-related hormone decline.
Unlike creams, patches, or oral medications, pellet implants provide steady hormone levels for 3-5 months without daily dosing. Reimbursement is standard practice with most private insurances, making this a cost-effective and profitable service to add to your practice.
The AAOPM Hormone Pellet Training Course teaches you the complete pellet insertion procedure, patient evaluation protocols, dosing guidelines, and practice integration strategies from board-certified physicians experienced in BHRT.
Why Patients Prefer Pellet Therapy
BHRT using pellet implants has been used safely and effectively for over 70 years. Patients prefer pellets because they eliminate the hassle of daily applications and provide more stable hormone levels than other delivery methods.
The procedure takes only minutes to perform in-office, requires minimal recovery, and only needs to be repeated 3-4 times per year. Pellets don't increase the risk of blood clots like some synthetic hormone therapies.
Average procedure fees range from $300-$500 with pellet costs of $100-$200, resulting in excellent profit margins for your practice.
