Webinar: Transgender Transitioning: Implications of New Health Insurance Coverage Guidelines

Health Management Associates is hosting a webinar on the implications of the new health insurance coverage guidelines regarding transgender transitioning. HMA Community Strategies experts Marci Eads, Managing Principal; and John O'Connor, Principal, will teach attendees about the implications of the new proposed federal guidelines that require coverage of transition-related services for transgender individuals and explain data from the national survey of transgender that examined the implications of not having access to transition-related care. Additionally, attendees will learn about the barriers that prevent transgender individuals from receiving quality care in a timely matter and about resources that are available to teach staff about cultural competence. This webinar is recommended for executives of health plans; Medicaid directors and staff; state and federal regulators and healthcare policy analysts; advocates; and executives of public hospitals, health systems, and safety net providers. Pre-registration is required for this free webinar, which will take place on Wednesday, December 16, 2015 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET.
