it looks like planned parenthood in NY precribes hrt both in-person and via telehealth, you should be able to make an appointment through their online scheduler. they follow an informed consent model, so they describe the effects and you consent to them—they don’t gatekeep.

How much would it cost potentially?

i can’t answer that for you, but you can request a good faith estimate prior to the appointment and then cancel if you can’t afford it. in my experience, planned parenthood is great at working with different insurances and if they’re out of network (rare) or you don’t have insurance they usually have super affordable sliding scale fees available. you can also use goodrx to help manage prescription costs, but generally HRT isn’t too expensive bc it’s a very common generic medication.
