Default Transgender Health Insurance Coverage

Well, I currently do not have any health insurance, I live in Colorado, and i was wondering if anybody out there knows of health insurance providers or discount programs available to everyone, especially for Colorado residents, that cover some or all of transgender needs such as Hormone replacement therapy, Sex reassignment surgery, Gender related counseling, lab tests, hair removal, facial feminization surgery, etc. I currently have a very low income and paying full price for everything has been very hard for me, especially while raising a 2-year-old by myself. Any info would be very helpful. Thanks.

Default Re: Transgender Health Insurance Coverage

Unfortunately, most health insurance plans do not cover costs related to transgender issues other than psychotherapy (which is a limited benefit).
