Gender-affirming electrolysis covered by insurance
At eleQTro spot, we are dedicated to making gender-affirming electrolysis accessible by accepting many insurance plans.

With our expert guidance and personalized client care coordination, we are here to help you navigate the referral and authorization process.
How to access gender-affirming electrolysis with insurance
We are willing to contract with any insurance plan to make electrolysis hair removal accessible to as many clients as possible. Check out our FAQs for more guidance on this process. Here’s how to get started:
Obtain a referral: Contact your primary care provider to request a referral for electrolysis (specify eleQTro spot).
A note about issues with insurance: Some insurance companies are still trying to figure out how to find electrolysis providers to contract with. If you experience any delays or denials to your referral for gender-affirming electrolysis, please contact Legal Services of Northern California for free legal assistance.
Book your appointment: Once your referral is authorized and we have secured an agreement with your health plan, you may schedule your initial consultation with us!

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.
