GenderGP can't know what your insurance will cover, but you can find out by checking in with your provider.
Insurance
To find out if your insurance will cover any of the costs, you should consult your insurance plan documents or contact your insurance provider directly.
- Check your Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC): This is a standardized document that all health plans are required to provide. It outlines what the plan covers and what it costs, using common terms like deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
- Check your Policy or Plan Booklet: This is the detailed legal contract that describes all covered services, limitations, and exclusions.
- Online Portal/App: Most insurance companies offer an online member portal or mobile app where you can access and download your specific plan documents and coverage details.
- Contact your provider: You should be able to contact your insurance provider directly, either by phone, live chat or email to inquire about coverage.
Medicaid
To find out if Medicaid will be able to help with the costs of gender-affirming care, check your state's specific Medicaid program information, as coverage can vary by state.
To check, try:
- Contacting your state's Medicaid office: This is the most direct way to get specific information about coverage in your area.
- Checking your state's Medicaid website: Many states have dedicated websites that detail their programs and benefits.
- Reviewing your Medicaid notice: If you are already enrolled, check any notices or documents you have received from Medicaid for information on your specific benefits.
