Are FDA-approved bioidentical estradiol patches covered by US insurance?

How does the UK NHS HRT Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) work?
For a one-time payment of £19.80 per year, women in England get unlimited NHS prescriptions for eligible systemic and local HRT medications for 12 months.
Why do menopause specialists warn against expensive compounded hormone pellets?
The Menopause Society and BMS recommend regulated transdermal estradiol + micronized progesterone over unregulated cash-pay pellets, which often cost $1,500–$3,000/year and cannot be easily adjusted.
