Testosterone pellet
A pellet implanted under the skin in a clinic, supplying roughly 90 days per insertion. It is implanted rather than injected, so it is carried in the implanted column and is never folded in with injectable vials. Approval status depends on the specific branded product: the pellet formulation itself is not an approved category.
A pellet is not billed monthly and cannot be converted by dividing the insertion charge by three. A record of a pellet program derives the monthly equivalent from the published interval between insertions rather than assuming a 90-day cycle, and states that interval explicitly.
Implanted is its own column because the administration is its own event: the pellet goes under the skin in a clinic, so the visit is part of the record. Filing it under injectable would describe the product as something a buyer injects at home, which it is not.
