Transgender and nonbinary health benefits

UC’s comprehensive medical benefits encompass the broad needs of our diverse workforce to keep our employees, retirees and their family members healthy. Nearly all of UC’s medical plans offer benefits for the health care needs of transgender and nonbinary faculty, staff and retirees.

Here are some tips for finding your health plan’s guidelines and policies for offering transgender health benefits, and for getting the help you need.
