Open enrollment for health insurance has begun! From now until January 15th, 2019, you can shop for health insurance on the state marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado. While much progress has been made in securing protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) Coloradans when accessing health care, it can still be difficult to find comprehensive coverage for people who identify as transgender or have chronic conditions like HIV.
That’s why One Colorado is releasing three new and improved health insurance guides, so that transgender Coloradans and people living with HIV can make informed decisions about which insurance companies provide them with coverage that meets their needs:
• 2019 Transgender Health Insurance Buyer’s Guide
• 2019 Hormone Therapy Prescription Coverage Guide
• 2019 PrEP and HIV Prescription Coverage Guide
These guides not only look at whether the seven plans on the marketplace cover behavioral health services, hormone therapy, and gender-affirming surgery, but also review the availability of an LGBTQ health navigator, coverage of puberty blockers for minors, quality of hormone therapy coverage, and HIV prescription coverage.
Want to find the plan that’s best for you? Check out the 2019 Transgender Health Insurance Buyer’s Guide, the Hormone Therapy Prescription Coverage Guide, and the PrEP and HIV Prescription Coverage Guide.
Don't wait to get covered! You have until December 15, 2018 to get health care that starts on January 1, 2019. Shop online now or call 855-PLANS-4-YOU.
