Are you seeking insurance coverage for transition-related care or a person living with HIV that needs specific prescription drug coverage? We’ve got some resources that will help find the insurance carrier that’s right for you.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Saturday, December 15, 2018 is that last day that you can purchase health insurance that will begin on January 1, 2019
• You have until January 15, 2019, when open enrollment ends, if you don’t need insurance that starts on January 1st.

We’ve also released 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.
