A FOLX membership gives LGBTQIA+ people access to affirming virtual healthcare, care navigation, community support, and a member portal that makes it easier to manage your care. Membership is $43.99/month or $349/year when paid annually. Visits, labs, and medications are billed separately, so you only pay for clinical services when you need them.
With FOLX, you can get care from LGBTQIA+ specialized clinicians, message your care team, book virtual visits, manage refills, access community resources, and get support navigating insurance, referrals, letters, and more.
What does a FOLX membership include?
A FOLX membership is your access point to ongoing, affirming healthcare and support designed by and for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Your membership includes:
- Access to LGBTQIA+ specialized clinicians
- Secure messaging with your care team
- Help with refills, care questions, referrals, and navigation
- Access to the FOLX member portal
- FOLX Community resources, events, and peer support
- Help understanding insurance, labs, medications, and next steps in your care
- Letters and support for things like name and gender marker changes or gender-affirming surgery, when clinically appropriate
Membership does not include the cost of visits, labs, or medications. Those are billed separately, and you’ll see pricing before you’re charged.
Why does FOLX have a membership?
Traditional healthcare was not built with LGBTQIA+ people in mind. Too often, getting care means explaining yourself over and over, worrying about being misgendered, searching for a provider who understands your needs, or waiting months for an appointment.
FOLX is built differently.
Your membership helps create a more continuous care experience: a care team who understands LGBTQIA+ health, a portal where you can manage your care, and support that goes beyond a single appointment. Whether you’re seeking gender-affirming hormone therapy, primary care, mental health care, sexual and reproductive health care, or support navigating another part of your health, FOLX is designed to be a care home you can come back to.
How much does a FOLX membership cost?
A FOLX membership is $43.99/month when paid monthly, or $349/year when paid annually.
After joining, you pay for clinical services as you use them. That may include:
- Virtual visits
- Labs
- Medications
- Therapy or mental health visits, where available
- Other services based on your care needs
Some members may be able to use insurance for visits, medications, labs, or select membership costs, depending on their plan. You can also pay out of pocket.
What kind of care can I get through FOLX?
FOLX offers virtual healthcare for LGBTQIA+ adults, with services that may include:
- Gender-affirming hormone therapy, including estrogen and testosterone
- Primary care and preventive care
- Mental health care and medication management
- Therapy in select states
- Sexual and reproductive health care
- STI testing and prevention, including PrEP and PEP
- Fertility and family-building support
- Support for referrals, labs, medications, and care navigation
Availability can vary by state and service, so check the FOLX service map or sign up to see what care is available where you live.
Is the FOLX membership the same as paying for healthcare?
Not exactly. Your membership gives you access to the FOLX care experience: clinicians, care navigation, messaging, community, resources, and the member portal.
Visits, labs, and medications are separate. That means you are not paying for services you do not use. Instead, you pay for the care you need, when you need it.
Can I use insurance with FOLX?
Yes, many members can use insurance for parts of their care, depending on their plan and location. Insurance may help cover visits, medications, labs, or select membership costs.
You can also use FOLX without insurance. Pricing is shown up front so you know what to expect before you’re charged.
Who is a FOLX membership for?
FOLX is for LGBTQIA+ people who want healthcare that understands their bodies, identities, relationships, and lives.
That includes transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, intersex, two-spirit, questioning, and every-letter-in-the-alphabet people who want affirming care without having to educate their provider from scratch.
You do not need to be seeking hormones to join FOLX. Members use FOLX for many kinds of care, including primary care, mental health, sexual health, fertility support, and ongoing wellness.
How do I join FOLX?
You can join FOLX online, choose your membership plan, and see what care is available in your state. Once you’re a member, you can book visits, message your care team, manage prescriptions and refills, and access support through the member portal.
Healthcare should feel safer, easier, and more affirming. That’s what FOLX is here for.
