FOLX memberships are for all the transgender, queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, gender nonconforming, intersex, two-spirit, every-alphabet-letter and questioning people who want a better healthcare experience (we think that’s all of us?!). FOLX makes it easy to get affirming care from clinicians who get you. (Plus over 80% of our clinicians are in the community themselves!) 

A FOLX membership provides you with so much more than traditional healthcare. It gives you access to a community of support, from affirming LGBTQIA+ expert clinicians to a member team to help you navigate your care, plus a community of peers you can connect with and resources that guide you on your journey. We care for your body, your mind, and your overall well-being. We help you navigate the difficult things, from insurance to referrals, from coming out at work to dealing with family; we’re here for your whole self. 

For a monthly fee of $25/month when paid yearly or $39.99/month when paid monthly, you can join FOLX and experience health care that celebrates your identity and helps you meet your wellness goals. You then pay for clinical services only when you need them, including visits, labs, and meds. 

Why does FOLX have a membership?

At FOLX, we know that traditional healthcare wasn’t designed for us in the LGBTQIA+ community. And we know that health and wellbeing is about more than just seeing a doctor when you aren’t feeling well. Our membership allows you to develop an ongoing relationship with your clinician, our care team, and the whole FOLX community. Most importantly, it allows you to develop the relationship with yourself and your wellbeing that you deserve.

FOLX members see results—they meet their transition goals, they improve their mental health, and they learn new skills for their overall health. 99% of FOLX members are satisfied with their progress towards their goals at 6 months and 84% report emotional benefits to receiving care with FOLX (even when they’re not receiving mental health specific care!).

We know it might feel a little different to have a membership for healthcare, but we hope you give us a try. 

This article will go more into all the membership benefits you get, which you’ll see when you sign up, too. Our member portal makes it easy for you to manage your care online, from booking appointments to messaging your clinician to joining our community. No more leaving a message and then waiting for someone to give you a call back to get an appointment. No more waiting weeks to get seen. No more lurking in random forums on Reddit to get your questions answered.

FOLX can be your new care home, your new center of LGBTQIA+ support and community.

What is a FOLX membership?

A FOLX membership gets you access to holistic care. Holistic care at FOLX looks like this:

  • Clinical care to treat anything we can via telehealth or refer you to in-person care if needed:
    • Gender-affirming hormone therapy
    • General wellness visits
    • Mental health conditions like anxiety and depression
    • Chronic condition management
    • Treatment for illness
    • Sexual and reproductive health care 
    • Talk therapy (in select states)
    • Referrals to specialists or in-person care from our extensive vetted network of inclusive providers
  • Community support and resources to give you the support you need on your health and wellness journey:
    • Chat with fellow members
    • Support groups
    • Self-guided resources
    • Help navigating insurance
    • Connections and discounts to other services and brands
    • Letters for name or gender marker change and surgery
  • A member portal that makes it easy to manage your care:
    • Book a visit within a few days right from your phone
    • See when your refills are coming
    • View and pay your upcoming bills
    • Message your care team any time

How does pricing work?

As a FOLX member, you pay a monthly membership fee ($39.99/month or $299 when paid yearly) and then pay for services at the time you receive them. This means you'll pay for the visits, labs, and meds you need, when you need them. 

We also accept select insurance (and we’re adding new ones all the time!) so you may only have to pay your copay or coinsurance for visits. And we have discounted rates for labs and medications through our FOLX pharmacy, or you can use your own insurance at a pharmacy of your choice.
