What is the average monthly cost of prescriptions?
$50 – $200 month. Do whatever you can to have your hormones covered by insurance! Most insurance policies have exclusions written into their contracts excluding medicines and procedures related to gender identity. Some doctors will use hormone imbalance as your diagnosis to get around this. I did and got Blue Cross to pay for my hormones for a year. (When they found out and wanted me to pay them back I told them to take a hike!) Medica insurance in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area covers SRS, HRT and gender identity counseling. Minnesota’s state health insurance, from what I’ve heard, also covers SRS and HRT.
