Navigating the Insurance Markets for Trans-friendly coverage

[Laurie]

I'm 66 next week. Maybe a YMMV designation should be placed on my statement. When I showed my Doctors, literature from DESAction they no longer asked questions. I have seven or so symptoms they show on the list. There are not many left out.

  Dawn,

  I have discovered that I may be wrong about the Kaiser not covering Transgender services after age 65. It looks as though they in fact do at least in California according to that area's EOC information. I have yet to find an EOC for the Northwest area, so I will still remain a bit skeptical until I do.

  I do offer my apologies to you Dawn and everyone here. In addition I have removed my negative posts concern it.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Wow, where are you getting Spiro so cheap? I've got no insurance (but I do have a pharmacy discount card) and my total for HRT is $46 - around $42 for Spiro & $4 for E (pills) each month.

I use GoodRx that was already mentioned. My doctors office had a lot of the cards so I grabbed one and took it to the pharmacy. I use the Kroger pharmacy and I live in GA. I don't exactly remember the price of each and one of them went up 1-2 dollars but one is about $10 and the other is around $13 I think. It has always been around 20-23 dollars every time I go.

My spiro was $11 per month, and my patches were $76.

Now I'm on oral E only, $15 per month. I  buy through the Fenway Health pharmacy, a donation is added to the drug price. I'm happy doing that.

Hugs, Devlyn

Laurie  I go to the Kent Wa. office and Dr. Lightbody. My voice / lifestyle coach Emily Anderson is in Tacoma. My Social Worker is Shannon  Endo Avantika Waring  Kristy Conner is my gender therapist. I am not submitting for surgery so I have no idea how that pans out, but I have had no problems for HRT.

I take it most people are on the tablets followed by the patches, with only a few on the pellet?

  I did say it looked like I was wrong and apologized plus removed my posts about it
