02How the program works
Confidential Intake
Complete a private intake form. Most men appreciate that they can describe symptoms in writing rather than face-to-face. Our team reviews within one business day.
Required Lab Work
For TRT: morning testosterone (×2 readings), LH/FSH, estradiol, PSA, CBC, lipids, hematocrit. For ED: as clinically indicated. We provide lab requisitions; LifeLabs/Dynacare are typically convenient.
Physician Consultation
A virtual consult to review labs, discuss symptoms in depth, and decide together whether therapy is appropriate.
Prescription & Setup
If indicated, prescriptions are sent to your pharmacy. For TRT: injection technique can be reviewed by video. We prescribe everything needed including syringes and disposal.
Ongoing Monitoring
TRT requires regular monitoring (3 months, 6 months, then annually). Hematocrit, PSA, testosterone levels — all reviewed virtually with your physician.
03What's included
04Coverage & what's billed
What's covered: physician consultations, requisitioned lab work, in-store vitals review, prescription refills written by your DOS physician, and follow-up visits during the program.
What may be patient-pay: certain weight-loss or specialty medications (depending on private insurance), supplements, and any out-of-program services you elect. Your DOS physician will discuss any patient-pay item with you before prescribing — nothing is added to your file without consent.
05Your Metro pharmacist
Each Metro location partnered with DOS has at least one pharmacist briefed on the program. They have access to your DOS chart (with your consent) and can answer questions about side effects, interactions, and adjustments without you needing to wait for a physician appointment.
