Health insurers in New York may not discriminate or deny coverage for transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, the Cuomo administration reminded insurers yesterday.
According to a letter sent to health insurers Wednesday from the state’s Department of Financial Services, it had “come to the attention” of Superintendent Maria Vullo that some health insurers may be denying claims of transgender individuals “because the gender with which the individual identifies does not match the gender of someone to whom those services are typically provided.”
