From now until January 31st, 2017, Coloradans can shop for health insurance on our state’s own marketplace, Connect for Health Colorado. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), you cannot be denied or limited coverage based on “pre-existing conditions” — including sexual orientation, gender identity, or health conditions including HIV status.Still, if you’re a transgender Coloradan, finding coverage that meets all your health care needs can be complicated. That’s why One Colorado is releasing our Transgender Health Insurance Buyer’s Guide so that transgender people across our state can see which insurance companies provide complete coverage for transgender Coloradans.We’ve developed this helpful guide for transgender Coloradans so that their shopping experience for health coverage is less confusing and burdensome. The guide shows the 8 insurance companies being sold on Connect for Health Colorado, whether they removed their transgender exclusions, and if they offer comprehensive coverage for transgender Coloradans.Don’t wait to get covered!
