I live in western Washington, and I'm on Molina Apple Care. My goal is to start on t-blockers on February 7th. I'm seeing a therapist, I've told my pediatrician that I'm trans, and I've looked up endocrinologists. I've heard that I might need a psychological evaluation, and that nobody knows an transgender-specialized endocrinologist nearby who takes Molina, and a bunch of other stuff. Do I need the evaluation, or is that a thing of the past? Does anyone know an endo in the Olympia area who takes Molina?

I'm in Seattle. My endo uses informed consent (though I was referred by my therapist anyway). I don't know about the insurance, but I hope you find someone who takes it!

Eastside healthcare takes Molina and does Transgender care including HRT.

That's great, thanks! Do you know which doctor there does transgender care?

I am not sure which provider does. I am assuming it the one with the endocrinology as a specialty.  I just got my referral for there from my GP today.  It is Capitol Eastside Healthcare just to clarify.  Good luck!  Hopefully it works out for both of us.
