This guide was originally written on 2023-11-19 with a private local server in mind.
As of 2024-07-25 I still very much consider it a WIP

Insurance coverage for electrolysis varies - for example Kaiser will cover 45 sessions for facial hair removal, a different number pre-surgery, etc. Insurance coverage for pre-surgery can vary, but electrolysis is usually required - OHSU, Kaiser, and Legacy will refer out to "community providers" which can be waitlisted. Trying to get non-approved providers on the approved list is possible.
