Healthcare costs can be confusing. At FOLX Health, we aim to make pricing as clear and upfront as possible, so you know what to expect before you get care.
Here’s the simplest version: FOLX membership is $43.99/month or $349/year when paid annually. Membership gives you access to the FOLX care experience, including LGBTQIA+ specialized clinicians, secure messaging, care navigation, community resources, and the member portal. Visits, labs, and medications are billed separately, so you only pay for clinical services when you need them.
Some members may be able to use insurance for visits, labs, medications, or select membership costs, depending on their plan and location. You can also pay out of pocket.
How much does FOLX cost?
The cost of FOLX depends on what kind of care you need, whether you use insurance, and whether you pay monthly or annually for membership.
In general, FOLX costs may include:
- A FOLX membership: $43.99/month or $349/year
- Virtual visits with a clinician
- Labs, if needed for your care
- Medications, if prescribed
- Therapy or mental health visits, where available
Before you’re charged, we’ll show you the costs we know. For things that can vary, like medication prices, lab costs, or insurance coverage, we’ll help you understand what may affect the final amount.
What does the FOLX membership fee cover?
All FOLX members pay a membership fee for access to FOLX services and support.
Your membership includes:
- Access to LGBTQIA+ specialized clinicians
- The ability to book virtual visits
- Secure messaging with your care team
- Support from nurses, medical assistants, and Member Navigation
- Help with referrals, prescriptions, refills, and care questions
- Access to the FOLX member portal
- Access to FOLX Community resources, events, and support
- Help navigating insurance, labs, medications, and next steps in your care
Membership does not include the cost of visits, labs, or medications. Those are billed separately.
How much is a FOLX membership?
A FOLX membership is $43.99/month when paid monthly, or $349/year when paid annually.
If you choose the annual plan, you pay once for the year. If you choose the monthly plan, you pay each month.
How much do FOLX visits cost?
You’ll pay for visits when you receive clinical care. Visit costs can depend on the type of care you need and whether you’re using insurance.
For out-of-pocket visits, pricing may include:
- Initial primary care or gender-affirming care visit: $159
- Follow-up primary care or gender-affirming care visit: $79
- Therapy visit in select states: $129/visit
If FOLX is in-network with your insurance plan, your visit cost may be your copay or coinsurance instead of the full out-of-pocket visit price.
How much do medications cost through FOLX?
Medication costs vary based on the medication, dose, pharmacy, and whether you use insurance.
Depending on your care plan, you may be able to:
- Use the FOLX partner pharmacy for discounted medication rates and delivery
- Send your prescription to a local pharmacy
- Use insurance at your local pharmacy
- Use coupons or discount programs if you’re paying out of pocket
Because medication costs can vary, we’ll help you understand your options before you decide where to fill your prescription.
How much do labs cost through FOLX?
Lab costs depend on what labs you need and whether you use insurance.
For gender-affirming hormone therapy, labs are typically needed one to two times per year, depending on your care plan and clinical needs. FOLX offers discounted lab rates, and some members may also be able to use insurance for labs.
Your care team will let you know what labs are needed, when to get them, and what payment options may be available.
Can I use insurance with FOLX?
Yes, FOLX works with select insurance plans. If FOLX is in-network with your insurance, you may be able to use insurance for visits and other parts of your care, depending on your plan.
With in-network insurance, your costs may include:
- FOLX membership: $43.99/month or $349/year
- Visits: copay or coinsurance, depending on your plan
- Medications: cost varies based on medication, dose, pharmacy, and insurance coverage
- Labs: cost varies based on lab type and insurance coverage
Insurance coverage can vary, so it’s always a good idea to check your plan details.
What if FOLX does not take my insurance?
You can still use FOLX even if we are not in-network with your insurance plan.
In that case, your costs may include:
- FOLX membership: $43.99/month or $349/year
- Visits: out-of-pocket visit pricing
- Medications: cost varies; you may be able to use insurance at your local pharmacy
- Labs: discounted lab rates or insurance, depending on your options
Even if your insurance does not cover FOLX visits, it may still cover medications or labs through your pharmacy or lab provider.
What will I pay for care over the course of a year?
Your total cost depends on your care needs. Someone getting ongoing gender-affirming hormone therapy may have different costs than someone using FOLX for a one-time primary care visit, mental health care, or sexual health support.
A few things can affect your total yearly cost:
- Whether you choose monthly or annual membership
- How many visits you need
- Whether you need labs
- Which medications you take
- Whether you use insurance
- Whether you use the FOLX pharmacy or a local pharmacy
We know this is a lot to think through. That’s why FOLX is built to be transparent about costs, help you understand your options, and support you in making informed decisions about your care.
Why does FOLX charge a membership fee?
FOLX is more than a one-time visit. Membership helps support a care experience designed specifically for LGBTQIA+ people, including ongoing access to affirming clinicians, care navigation, secure messaging, community support, and resources that help you manage your health beyond the appointment.
Traditional healthcare often leaves LGBTQIA+ people doing too much of the work: finding affirming providers, explaining their identities, navigating insurance, chasing referrals, and figuring out next steps alone.
FOLX is here to make that easier.
The bottom line
FOLX membership is $43.99/month or $349/year. Visits, labs, and medications are billed separately, and some members may be able to use insurance for parts of their care.
Our goal is to make pricing clearer, care easier to access, and healthcare more affirming from the start.
