I just got access to the benefit info for my new jobert and want to start figuring it out even if I won’t be eligible for a couple more months.

There’s a Gold PPO and a Platinum HMO, and the company takes care of the premium for both. The HMO is cheaper in pretty much every way (4x cheaper therapy for instance) but I know you’re a lot more restricted in terms of staying in network and needing referrals.

If I go for an HMO will I have a harder time getting HRT? I’m not really looking at any surgeries in the next year, so I could switch to a PPO later if there were any network issues with that.

    My wife’s BCBS PPO has been ungodly great for my trans care. My bottom surgery didn’t cost a dime and my meds are well covered.
