A recent update to health insurance guidance affects federal employees in our area. The Trump administration has changed the rules for health insurance companies that provide plans to federal employees. The updated guidance removes language that previously allowed for some coverage of gender-affirming care.

As a result, federal employees will no longer have access to this type of care under their health insurance programs. Further details about this change are available from LGBTQ Nation, which reported on the updated guidance and its implications for federal employees in the local area.
