KBFPC’s collaboration with local healthcare partners enables eligible clients to receive this elective contraceptive procedure through the Title X sliding fee scale program. After an initial consultation with a KBFPC provider, clients are given a vasectomy referral which can be scheduled following a 30-day waiting period.
As part of KBFPC’s mission to provide comprehensive, quality reproductive healthcare services regardless of gender or sexual orientation, our providers can support clients with feminizing or masculinizing hormone treatments or managing hormone therapy to achieve non-binary goals of care. After an initial visit, labs may be ordered before a hormone prescription is sent to your pharmacy. We will work with you to make treatment decisions according to your goals and health, and support you through initial doses, interval increases, and potential follow-up visits. Clients can see us to discuss gender/identity transition questions at any age, but must be 18 years or older to provide informed consent for hormone therapy.
KBFPC staff are expert resources for questions and information on reproductive health care issues, relationship safety and consent, LGBTQ+ wellness, risk-reduction education, healthy communication, and decision-making skills.
All teens have the right to access safe and confidential sexual and reproductive health services and information. KBFPC was awarded a Silver Adolescent Centered Environment certification from the Adolescent Health Initiative at the University of Michigan.

Financial Programs
KBFPC receives financial support from client and community donations, and from the State of Alaska through two programs that help make our care accessible to all: Alaska Breast + Cervical (AK B+C) Screening Assistance Program and the Title X Family Planning program.
Enrollment in either program is based on an income assessment which includes a client’s family/household size and monthly or annual income, and Clinic staff can help determine client eligibility. For more information on KBFPC’s income guidelines for these programs, click here. Private insurance and Medicaid are also accepted.
Title x
Family Planning Program
Provided by the State of Alaska with funding from the Office of Population Affairs , the Title X Family Planning Program is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive sexual, reproductive, and related preventive health services. Many of KBFPC’s services qualify for a discount through the program, and costs for eligible clients are determined on a sliding fee scale that is based on income and family size.
Alaska Breast + Cervical
Screening Assistance Program
Provided by the State of Alaska with funding from the CDC, the AK B+C Program helps cover the cost of screening and diagnostic services for prevention and early detection of breast and cervical cancers. Clients ages 21-64 with qualifying income and family size are eligible, regardless of insurance status, unless they have Medicare Part B coverage. Clients screened and diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer through the AK B+C program may also be eligible to have treatment paid for by Medicaid.
