Insurance Companies

Anyone know of any insurance companies in Massachusetts that are cheaper and that a trans/gender therapist and an Endro doctor would work with?

Yeah, generally if anything is listed as for transgender stuff, it won't get covered. For hormones, generally it will get covered unless they figure it out, and for the most part they don't. The big thing is, when they do it's a huge BOOM and you're stuck with all the bills.

Diane Ellaborn's on the BC/BS list, but she won't bill insurance until you've completed a 12 session evaluation at your own cost and there's some kind of processing fee if you want her to bill insurance.

My second therapist Daphne Sutter is trying to get set up for insurance, but she's just opening her practice.

Here on Cape, Crossroads medical will bill virtually any insurance, and I don't think they even look for letters. They handle transwomen's estro in house and refer to a urologist for T, but the office they do referrals to only does transdermal.

Just my luck i want to use a patch. I'd rather not be injected or inject myself.
