Most insurance plans do not cover a treatment whose sole intention is anti-aging. There are cases where your insurance may cover specific tests and treatments that are FDA approved for other purposes but also offer anti-aging benefits. Always speak with your doctor during the initial consultation and openly discuss insurance to know what costs to expect. Your doctor’s practice and medical degree, insurance plan, state regulations, and many other factors can determine whether your insurance will or will not approve and cover treatment. To give you an idea, some of the common anti-aging medicine treatments that your insurance may cover include: Conventional tests that are often used in anti-aging medicine. For example, Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a test that measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months. Conventional doctors use this test to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. This test can also indicate your body’s amount of glycation, a known aging factor. Another example is the popular C-reactive protein (CRP) test which measures the inflammation levels in the body.

Because Metformin has shown impressive potential to promote longevity pathways and extend lifespan and healthspan, many anti-aging doctors include it in their protocols. To learn more about metformin, including natural alternatives, see Dr. Bajnath’s article berberine vs. metformin. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Your insurance may cover HRT for specific medical conditions or diagnoses, such as if a female patient experiences symptoms of menopause. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in men is another example. If your testosterone levels are low enough and meet specific testing criteria required by your insurance company, they may approve and cover some or the entire treatment.
