2015 Out & Equal Workplace Summit

Transgender medical coverage is offered by more employers every year. However, many still do not provide transgender health benefits and coverage levels vary widely among those that do. We’ll present the rationale for providing comprehensive transgender medical benefits that far exceed what is required to score100% on HRC's Corporate Equality Index (CEI). Beyond gaps in healthcare coverage, the supply of qualified providers willing to accept insurance is limited and below the level of demand for service. This workshop will also examine the current landscape from the perspective of employers wanting to ensure that their employees have access to the care that they need. What can employers do to ensure that equal coverage in their health insurance plans is truly equal for their employees?
