Estradiol pellet
A pellet placed under the skin at a visit, releasing estradiol over roughly three months. It is the clearest case of a charge that is not monthly.
Background information, not a recommendation. The lines below describe what a preparation is and how it reaches a bill. Whether it is appropriate for anyone is a decision for a licensed clinician, and nothing here makes it.
What it does to a bill
A pellet is charged per insertion rather than per month. Where a record holds one, the monthly figure is derived from the insertion interval and labeled as derived.
Program records that price it

Brand names are used only to identify a product. Naming one here is not a recommendation and carries no commercial relationship.
Regulatory note
A pellet is a compounded preparation. It is not an FDA-approved finished product and is not interchangeable with a branded one.
