on your own with the help of QueerDoc’s step-by-step guide:

  • Talking to insurance companies can be stressful and confusing. We hope this resource — made with information about some common gender affirming surgeries and procedures — will help you navigate conversations with your insurance provider. As you move through this resource, you will:

    • gather information your insurance company is likely to ask for, and
    • build a list of questions for you to ask them.
       

    These questions will help you to understand your coverage and how much your procedures will cost after insurance. 

    We also provide a dictionary of relevant medical and insurance terms so you can speak medical insurance lingo confidently*.

*A note on language: Unfortunately, the current US healthcare and insurance system often uses language that pathologizes gender diversity and adheres to a binary “model” of gender. This may feel traumatizing. If you think the language in this resource will be a trigger for you, please be forewarned and create a support plan. If you think you will have difficulty, or you experience difficulty at any time during this process, our gender care navigator is available for booking. Our goal is to help you get and use the information you need to access the medical care you want.
