I made my first appointment on the path to transition! In the meantime the trans advocate instructed me to navigate my insurance options concerning coverage so we know what's what when I get there. My policy states: "Benefits follow the current World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care" but when I went to the WPATH site to see what those were they wanted to sell me it for 45$?! Is there some other resource for patients? Feels weird to have to pay to find out what my policy covers. Or maybe I was looking in the wrong place on the site? Thanks for any help, Bug
Hmm. I'm not sure, but perhaps this will be helpful http://www.teni.ie/attachments/b5614ca8-53eb-44ee-aa64-9296f59da4ec.PDF
I think that is exactly it, Kumawool, thank you! I have been a bit overwhelmed lately wading through the information and trying to sort out what is actually relevant to my situation. I appreciate your help. Have a great day.
