Stop Cigna, Aetna, and Humana’s discrimination against transgender health care providers.
Stop Cigna, Aetna, and Humana’s discrimination against transgender health care providers.
The Issue
Support Dr. Tiffany: Stop Cigna, Aetna, and Humana’s discrimination against transgender health care providers.
My clinic, of which I am the Chief Medical Officer and part owner, UrgentEMS (UrgentEMS.com), is in imminent danger of closing because Cigna, Aetna, and Humana are flatly refusing to accept my legal name change and thus not reimbursing me for patient care provided.
My clinic WILL BE FORCED TO shut down because of their flat refusal to honor the court judgement for my legal name change as a transgender physician, despite it being recognized by the following entities: the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners, the Louisiana Department of Motor Vehicles, the United States Social Security Administration, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the Louisiana State Board of Pharmacy, the American Board of Emergency Medicine, the American College of Emergency Physicians, my residency program (LSU New Orleans), my medical school (Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine), NPPES, PECOS, NPI, CAHQ, and two other insurance companies (Blue Cross and United).
I have made all the necessary changes. If I was a cisgender woman who had gotten married, a name change would be routine.
Instead they have withheld over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in payments, an amount the loss of which my small start up clinic, which serves many marginalized communities, cannot survive.
Myself and my clinic, UrgentEMS, are the canaries in the coal mine warning us of yet another way that conservative leaning insurance companies can destroy resources serving marginalized communities.
If it can happen to me, it can happen to any transgender healthcare provider.
