Would you like your health insurance company to approve the gender affirming medical care your doctor prescribed so you can start feeling right in your body?
If the answer is yes, then call now for your free consultation.
It is often incredibly painful when your insurer denies the medical treatments you need and deserve. You realize you are transgender and desperately want the medical procedures to feel more comfortable in your skin. There is nothing shameful about getting these procedures. In many states including California, it is your right. These gender affirming procedures may include any of the following:
- Hormone therapy
- Top surgery
- Facial gender surgery
- Phalloplasty
- Vaginoplasty
- And others
California law says insurance companies may not discriminate against an individual based on sexual orientation or gender identity. And over 20 states, including California, forbid private insurance companies from excluding transgender healthcare benefits. In fact, California’s Department of Insurance says health insurance plans may not arbitrarily exclude coverage for gender affirming services including but not limited to hormone therapy, surgical procedures and mental health services.
But some insurance providers deny gender affirming care because it is expensive. Have you been denied transgender treatments by:
- Anthem Blue Cross,
- Blue Shield,
- Health Net,
- Kaiser Permanente,
- UnitedHealthcare,
- Cigna,
- Aetna, or
- Another insurance company?
