HEY! if you are on Fidelis and you are trans, this is an important message for you! Fidelis is changing their coverage, and no longer covering Transgender services.
I got a call from my Endocrinologist earlier. she was nice enough to give everyone who’s trans a call to tell them, Fidelis Care has changed their coverage, and will no longer cover transgender services. No more coverage for trips to see your doctor about trans related needs. No more coverage for your HRT. None of that.
If you are on Fidelis-Medicaid, Medicaid will not pick up the slack from Fidelis not covering it. That was my hope and it was sadly dashed when I called up my local planned parenthood to inquire.
If you are on Fidelis, either be prepared to pay a couple hundred dollars for doctors appointments + whatever the cost of your hormones is, OR switch to a different provider. I can’t make any suggestions, I’m very overwhelmed RN and haven’t had time to look into it. If you are NOT on Fidelis, Please also reblog this to spread the word! I don’t want people getting caught in the dark, surprised by this and stuck with bills they are unprepared for!
NC State Health Plan also exlcudes transgender health care as of Janurary 2018!
