VisitBefore your first appointment with a new provider
- Call ahead: ask if they use chosen name and pronouns in the chart, and whether intake forms include nonbinary options.
- Confirm they're in-network — and that any specialist they refer to (endocrinology, surgery, mental health) is also covered.
- For gender-affirming care, ask what their letter or readiness process looks like and whether they follow WPATH Standards of Care.
- Bring a copy of your insurance plan's "gender dysphoria" or "transgender services" coverage section — exclusions vary widely.
- If you've been denied coverage before, save the denial letter — Trans Health Project and Lambda Legal can help appeal.
- For HIV/PrEP: ask about lab costs upfront and whether the clinic enrolls patients in Ready, Set, PrEP if uninsured.
- If you experience discrimination, document it and file a complaint with HHS Office for Civil Rights under Section 1557.
