I am currently with Kaiser Permanente through my employer, but I may be changing jobs soon. I have an interview tomorrow and I do not know yet if the company (it's home depot) offers Kaiser. I don't want to switch insurance because Kaiser is amazingly trans friendly and my whole medical team is outstanding. I'm worried about what will happen if I switch insurance, will the company still cover my transition? Will I need to go to new therapists and be re-evaluated? I'd prefer to keep Kaiser but I'm worried that I will not be able to afford it if it isn't through my job. I'm very worried and concerned

I'm not sure which insurer Home Depot uses, but they receive top ratings as a company.

I wouldn't be too worried.

I had my interview this morning and the manager who interviewed me informed me that they do in fact have Kaiser. I saw that home depot was a 100% company with HRC and that made me happy, but even if the insurance covered my transition I just really don't want to change doctors. I have already developed a relationship with this medical staff. They already know me as Macy and always make me feel accepted whenever I visit them. I'm happy to find out that I will not need to switch doctors!

Not to mention I am RIGHT on the verge of starting HRT. I have my next therapy session tomorrow and I have a really good feeling that tomorrow might be the day I get my letter, so switching insurance when I haven't actually started hormones yet would be awkward timing and a bit of a setback. I'd be less concerned about switching if I was already on HRT because they'd likely just switch the prescription right over. But luckily that won't need to happen anyways.

Awesome! Thanks for the update.
