What is gender-affirming care?
Gender-affirming care includes medical, psychological, and social support services that help individuals align their healthcare with their gender identity. This can include hormone therapy, mental health support, and legal assistance for name or gender marker changes. The goal is to provide safe, respectful, and inclusive healthcare prioritizing individual needs.
Do I need insurance to receive care?
No, insurance is not required to access gender-affirming care. While we accept most major insurance plans, we also offer self-pay options for those without coverage. Our team can assist in verifying benefits and exploring affordable payment solutions.
How do I start hormone therapy?
Starting hormone therapy begins with a consultation with a qualified provider. Your medical history, goals, and treatment options will be discussed during your appointment to ensure a safe and personalized plan. Once approved, you’ll receive a prescription and ongoing support to monitor your progress.
How long does it take to receive a letter of support?
Letters of support are typically provided within one week after your appointment. Your provider will assess your needs and ensure the letter meets medical and legal requirements. If you are an active member, letters may be included in your membership benefits.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes, all personal and medical information is strictly confidential and protected under privacy laws. We follow HIPAA guidelines to ensure your data is secure and only shared with your consent. Your safety, privacy, and trust are our top priorities.
