加州最大的健康保险公司 Blue Cross of California Partnership Plan 和 Anthem Blue Cross 因拒绝提供性别确认护理而被罚款 850,000 美元。 California's largest health insurers, Blue Cross of California Partnership Plan and Anthem Blue Cross, were fined $850,000 for denying coverage for gender-affirming care. 承保人现在必须审查150个被拒绝的病例,对治疗患有性残疾的病人实行改变,并雇用一名专职案件管理员。 The insurers must now review 150 denied cases, implement changes for treating patients with gender dysphoria, and hire a dedicated case manager. 尽管该州2013年颁布的"保险性别不歧视法"保护LGBTQ+社区免受健康保险歧视, 但这些公司将一些手术归类为"医疗上不必要". This decision comes after the companies categorized some surgeries as "not medically necessary" despite the state's Insurance Gender Nondiscrimination Act of 2013 protecting the LGBTQ+ community from health coverage discrimination.
