Gender-affirming electrolysis covered by insurance
At eleQTro spot, we’re dedicated to making gender-affirming electrolysis accessible by accepting many insurance plans. For clients without insurance, we also offer limited private-pay and sliding-scale options. Most insured clients must receive an authorized referral directly from their medical provider before treatment can begin, and our team is here to help you navigate that process. Because new-client appointments are currently booking approximately six months out, we recommend beginning the referral process and joining our waitlist as early as possible.
We currently work with the insurance providers shown below, along with additional plans on a case-by-case basis.
Get Started with Electrolysis
Ready to begin? Most new clients must first receive an authorized referral from their medical provider. Because appointments are currently booking approximately six months out, we recommend starting the referral process and joining our waitlist as early as possible.
How to get started
Contact your medical provider
Ask your provider to submit a referral authorization for electrolysis with eleQTro spot listed as the requested provider. Referrals cannot be created or submitted by clients directly.Join our waitlist
You do not need to wait for the referral process to be completed before joining. Our current wait is approximately six months, so joining early helps reserve your place while your provider and insurance plan process the authorization.Wait for authorization
Your insurance plan must authorize the referral before treatment can begin. Our team can help answer questions, but the referral itself must come from your medical provider.Schedule your consultation
Once your authorization is approved, an agreement is secured with your health plan, and availability opens, we’ll contact you to schedule your initial consultation.
If you need assistance navigating the referral process, our team is here to help with personalized client care coordination. Check out our FAQs to get started.
Affordable care for uninsured and underinsured clients with sliding scale options
We reserve a limited number of spots for community members who may not have health insurance and need to pay out of pocket. Here’s what you need to know about our sliding scale program:
Review our FAQs about accessing health insurance. We encourage clients to explore options for obtaining coverage first.
If you cannot access insurance, inquire about our sliding scale rates (if unable to pay full price). These rates are based on expressed financial need and availability of sliding scale spots.
Be mindful that electrolysis requires multiple sessions over a long period, and even with a sliding scale, costs can add up.
We’re actively working with community partners to secure funding sources that will support uninsured or underinsured individuals seeking gender-affirming electrolysis.
Private pay options for electrolysis
While we believe that gender-affirming electrolysis should be covered by health insurance, we understand that some clients prefer or need to pay out of pocket. For those with the means to do so, we offer a limited number of private pay spots.
Here’s how to get started:
Contact us: Reach out to inquire about private pay availability and rates.
Understand the process: Electrolysis requires multiple sessions, and we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Book your sessions: Schedule your free initial consultation to begin your electrolysis treatments with eleQTro spot.
We prioritize most of our availability for clients using insurance to ensure that community members without the means to pay out of pocket can access our services. However, our team is happy to discuss private pay options if they align with your preferences or circumstances.
