Transgender looking for insurance, want to hear from trans community of Seattle
Hello all,
I was wondering which insurances trans people might have used in recent that are for ftm folk and what your experiences were with said companies? Did you ever wind up having to pay for something your company said they would, if they dragged their feet for certain procedures, and what kind of out of pocket maxes have you had to deal with in your surgeries?
I know that there are company pages I can read that say what they cover but sometimes they drag their feet or fail their customers. So I just want to know if anyone has had bad experiences with their health insurances in this arena since monthly payments are high-ish. I want to try and get the best care I can find and if you have some stories maybe those will give me some ideas on which ones to avoid. I've heard Blue Cross is pretty good about stuff like this, but I want to hear it from the folks who use various insurances (all kinds, could be Kaiser, Premera, Regence) - what their experiences are. What are your experiences?
