How to navigate health insurance as an LGBTQ+ Californian
RuPaul’s Drag Race instead of thinking about this stuff? We get it. But LGBTQ+ people, especially in the trans community, face unique challenges in accessing healthcare.
A recent HRC survey revealed that 51% of transgender or nonbinary individuals have encountered “one or more types of mistreatment or other negative experiences” with providers.
Plus, one in five LGBTQ+ adults have put off getting care due to “disrespect or discrimination.”Covered California is a true ally.
They’re on a mission to help the LGBTQ+ community access the supportive and inclusive services they need at a price they can afford, including gender-affirming care like hormone therapy, surgical evaluations and procedures, and mental health support throughout the gender-affirming process and beyond, as well as preventive treatments promoting sexual health such as PrEP and DoxyPEP.
