Defy Medical is a physician-led concierge telehealth clinic based in Tampa, FL, positioned as one of the longer-running names in online hormone therapy. The practice is led by medical director Dr. Justin Saya, with a team of providers covering testosterone replacement, bioidentical hormone therapy, sexual health, thyroid therapy, and peptide therapy alongside TRT.
What sets Defy apart structurally is its fully à la carte, pay-as-you-go billing: there's no monthly membership or bundled annual fee. Instead, patients pay separately for each consultation, each lab draw, and each vial of medication — a model the company says keeps patients from being locked into contracts, but one that also makes total cost less predictable upfront than flat-fee competitors.
Defy states its own average patient cost works out to under $250/month in year one (including medication, labs, and consultations) and under $200/month after year one. The most consistent criticism across reviews is the cost of labs specifically — several patients describe per-draw lab pricing as high relative to budget telehealth competitors that bundle testing into a flat rate.
Defy Medical bills each component separately rather than bundling into one fee — figures below reflect the ranges reported by the company and patient sources as of September 21, 2026.
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Initial consultation (one-time) | $250 |
| Follow-up consultation | $100–150/visit |
| Comprehensive male hormone panel (per draw) | $250–500 |
| Testosterone cypionate 200 mg/mL (10 mL vial) | $50–120 |
| Component | Cost |
|---|---|
| Initial consultation | $250 |
| Initial + follow-up labs (2–3 draws) | $500–1,500 |
| Medication (~4–5 vials/year) | $250–600 |
| Follow-up consultations (2–4/year) | $200–600 |
| Year 1 total (Defy's own published estimate) | Under $250/mo (~$3,000/yr) |
Defy states this average drops to under $200/month (~$2,400/year) after year one, as lab frequency typically decreases once dosing stabilizes. Because pricing is itemized rather than bundled, your actual total depends heavily on how many labs and follow-ups your specific protocol requires — ask for a written estimate before starting.
How billing works: Defy Medical does not use a subscription model — there's no membership to cancel, and patients only pay for services they actually use. Refunds: a full refund to your original payment method is available within 90 days of purchase; between 91 and 180 days, Defy issues store credit instead, minus a $25 processing fee.
Defy bills each visit, lab, and vial separately rather than one flat fee. The company's own published average is under $250/month in year one (medication, labs, and consultations combined), dropping to under $200/month after year one.
