QuoteIn 1998, I had to leave the Kaiser in Hollywood, CA in order to get my required mones and psych papers.
Don't understand your problems with Kaiser Teri and Mellisa. Kaiser is my employer since 2001 and as soon as my insurance went into effect I telephoned the psych department and asked for a transsexual therapyst, I ended up with one who had worked with me on it at the end of the 60's. An apointment was scheduled and a couple of months later he sent me to the Redwood city specialist for confirmation of his openion and I was scripted for hormones. Later after a stroke, some time in the hospital etc.. that was labled as possibly having been caused by estrogen, they even paid for orchiectomy to reduce my estrogens needs and kept me going on it, even though a genetic woman with the same stroke would not have been aloowed to use them.
There is no problem whatsoever with Transgender therapy at Kaizer, none at all. Right now there is an issue about paying for SRS also, but there has been no top confirmation yet of when or where, But my own MD is one of kaisers Administrative Doctors and one of my Psychiatrists is Chief of Psychiatry in Redwood City and chairperson of the Board of Psychiatry for the Entire Bay area, so I'm sure I will hear about it as soon as they are ready to say something.
