Title: insurance for the mtf transwoman...
Post by: mickie88 on February 13, 2009, 12:15:54 PM
ok.. i think i read here somewhere that there was a way for the gyno's/endo's and gp's to prescribe hrt for us without using specifically hormone replacement therapy or gid as a diagnosis if your carrier has you listed as male. i have found a doctor near me who will NOT START hrt but WILL CONTINUE it once it has begun, but she says my carrier will not pay if the diagnosis is a female one and i know they have me listed as male. can anyone refresh my memory with correct terminology for them to use? ??? ??? ??? ???

thanks in advance...
