How We Review TRT Providers: The Atlas Score | Men's Health Atlas

Methodology

How we review TRT providers

Scores last updated: September 30, 2026

Every provider in our directory gets an Atlas Score from 0 to 5, built from five published criteria. This page lays out exactly how points are earned, so you can check our work, or weigh the criteria differently for yourself.

The five criteria

Each criterion is scored from 0 to 5, then weighted. Medical safeguards count most, because that's where TRT providers differ most in ways that affect your health.

30%Medical safeguards
25%Pricing transparency
20%Reputation
15%Access & options
10%Customer terms

Atlas Score = 0.30 × medical + 0.25 × pricing + 0.20 × reputation + 0.15 × access + 0.10 × terms, rounded to one decimal.

How points are earned

1. Medical safeguards (30%)

Labs are required before anything is prescribed2
Ongoing monitoring with follow-up labs or visits (hematocrit, PSA, estradiol)1.5
A live visit with a clinician by video, phone, or in person, as standard. Only in some states or as an option: 0.75. Questionnaire only: 0.1.5

2. Pricing transparency (25%)

Treatment prices are published. Partial ranges only: 1.2
Lab and consultation costs are disclosed, or clearly stated as included. Partly disclosed: 1.2
No pattern of billing or surprise-fee complaints1

3. Reputation (20%)

Third-party ratings: 4.5 or higher = 3, 4.0–4.4 = 2, 3.0–3.9 = 1, below 3.0 or none found = 03
Good Better Business Bureau standing (accredited or A-range rating)1
No regulatory action (FDA, FTC, DEA, state) and no major complaint pattern1

4. Access & options (15%)

Availability: nationwide or 40+ states = 2, 15–39 states = 1.5, fewer states or regional = 1, a single location = 0.52
Treatment formats, counted by route (injection, topical, oral, pellets): three or more = 2, two = 1.5, one = 1. Enclomiphene counts as oral.2
A fertility-preserving option (hCG, gonadorelin, or enclomiphene)1

5. Customer terms (10%)

Cancellation terms are published and clear (including "no subscription")2
A refund policy or guarantee is published, even a strict one1.5
Insurance or HSA/FSA is accepted1.5

Scoring rules

"Best for" labels

Labels in the directory come from fixed rules applied to the scores, not editorial picks. Each provider can hold at most one label, assigned in this order:

  1. Top rated: the highest Atlas Score overall.
  2. Best value: the highest score among providers advertising $100 a month or less.
  3. Best for home injections: the highest score among providers offering self-injection at home.
  4. Best in-person: the highest score among providers with a network of physical clinics: in-person providers, or hybrid telehealth providers with two or more clinics. A hybrid provider with a single office is listed on the in-person page but is not eligible for the label.
  5. Best no-needle option: the highest score among providers offering oral or topical treatment.

Ties go to the provider with the higher medical safeguards score, then the higher pricing transparency score, then alphabetically.
