BHRT Facts
The Answers You Need
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a method of restoring the balance of your hormones and aiming to relieve symptoms, using compounded hormones that are identical in structure to those your body naturally produces. That way, your body recognizes and uses these replacement hormones in exactly the same way it would hormones it produces naturally.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone pellets are small, cylindrical pellets that contain hormones such as testosterone or estrogen.
What are pellets?
BHRT pellets are typically inserted into the upper buttocks area. Once inserted the pellets will release a consistent dose of hormones into the body over a period of several months.
How do hormone pellets work?
Pellets last three to six months depending on gender, weight, absorption rates, and the amount of deficiency within the patient at the time of insertion. Pellets are reinserted between two to four times per year to help keep hormones optimized and balanced and may take up to two insertions before feeling the full benefits.
How long do BHRT pellets last?
BHRT with the use of pellets is generally considered safe for most people, however a full health history needs to be completed to ensure there are no contraindications.
Are hormone pellets safe?
Pellet insertions are a relatively fast procedure. During an in-office visit, patients are brought into the exam room, and the insertion site is numbed. The most common site of insertion is the upper buttocks or lower abdomen. A small incision is then made for pellet insertion. Once the pellet is inserted, the insertion site is covered with a small bandage
How are pellets inserted?
Traditional health insurance plans will cover the cost of various forms of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone in certain circumstances. Still, Reform ABQ will not bill insurance plans for the Biote procedure. However, primary care patients can bill insurance for routine follow-up appointments and lab costs.

The TRT Process at Reform ABQ
Consultation & Hormone Testing
Your journey starts with a $55 in-person consultation, where our experts discuss symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. A comprehensive hormone panel (estradiol, testosterone, thyroid, and more) helps determine if pellet therapy is right for you.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We create a customized treatment plan based on lab results and symptoms. Reform ABQ offers estradiol, testosterone, and anastrozole pellets in various dosages, ensuring optimal hormone balance for both men and women.
Pellet Insertion Procedure
The pellet insertion is a quick, in-office procedure that takes 10-15 minutes. A small hormone pellet is placed under the skin (upper buttocks) using local anesthesia. Once inserted, the pellet gradually releases hormones into your bloodstream, maintaining consistent levels for months.
Ongoing Care
At 6 weeks post-insertion, we perform a follow-up lab draw to assess hormone levels and treatment effectiveness.
Pellets typically last 3-6 months, depending on absorption rates, activity level, and metabolism. Follow-up visits every 3-6 months help monitor symptoms and hormone levels, ensuring optimal results with each reinsertion.
