Kaiser Permanente now covering transgender services in plans
Joey Bunch, September 24th

Kaiser Permanente will now cover services for transgender Coloradans in its insurance plans, the company said Tuesday.

"Kaiser Permanente is committed to reducing health disparities and providing culturally competent care to all of our patients," the HMO said in a statement. "

In March, the Colorado Division of Insurance issued a directive reminding insurers that it is against state law to discriminate based on sexual orientation, including those who are transgender.

Kaiser Permanente joins only the Colorado HealthOP cooperative insurance plan as the only insurers covering transgender health care, according to One Colorado, an advocacy group for the states lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents.
