Does APWU Health Plan provide gender-affirming care? 

APWU Health Plan recognizes that transgender, non-binary, and other gender-diverse members require healthcare delivered by providers experienced in gender-affirming health. 

Gender-affirming services include therapy to address feelings of gender dysphoria and medical treatments that help you achieve physical characteristics that better align with your gender identity. 

Gender affirming surgery requires prior approval. Under the High Option and Consumer Driven Option, members need to call UnitedHealthcare before receiving gender-affirming surgery. Failure to do so will result in a minimum $500 penalty for an inpatient hospital stay. 

See the postal or federal brochure for complete details.
