Well I think that most of this is based on policies not companies. So there are liberal policies that covers a lot of things and very restrictive ones. So not all United Health Care policies are created equal.

I've heard that hormone therapy and maybe histo is covered more often than other stuff, but sometimes people have to fight for these.

This is not based on my own experience though.
My experience though is this. Health care companies want to deny coverage. That's why they can make tons of money. So if there is a way they feel they can deny coverage they will. The love it if you don't fight it.

I just wanted to say that guys need to indicate what country they live in when asking questions like this because not everyone lives in America and sometimes it looks likes people just assume we're all American here.

Well, with a few exceptions (places like North Korea, Iran, etc), you are one way or another part of the Empire, LOL

I guess I assumed US as the question was worded in such a "market based" way speaking of health care provider. I was thinking private insurance. But it's a good point.

And yep I think with some exceptions we are mostly part of the Empire. :)
