Ancillary Access
Medium
Access to the adjunct medications a complete TRT program may need — HCG or gonadorelin, aromatase inhibitors, and enclomiphene.
Why it matters
Fertility preservation and estradiol management often require ancillaries. A program without them forces a choice between complete care and switching providers.
How we assess it
We check the breadth of the adjunct formulary.
- HCG / gonadorelin availability
- Aromatase inhibitor availability
- Enclomiphene as an option
Source types: The provider’s published formulary and treatment options.
How we score it
A full ancillary menu scores high; a testosterone-only offering scores lower.
- Importance
- Medium
Medium — a moderate weight within TRT. It rewards completeness without overriding the monitoring and dosing factors.
- Scope
- Hormone Therapy / TRT overlay
What this tier is worth
Tiers carry fixed weights: Critical 5, High 3, Medium 2, Supporting 1. A score is the weighted mean of the factors we could establish, so you can recompute any of ours by hand — the methodology page works one through end to end.
Not medical advice
This factor rates how openly a provider discloses its process — not whether a treatment is right for you. That decision belongs with a licensed clinician who knows your history. Nothing here is medical advice.
