Help Paying for Abortion Care
Many clinics accept Apple Health (Washington Medicaid), which completely covers abortion care.
Most insurance plans are required to cover abortion care.
If you have the Providence health plan, abortion is not covered. Washington will pay for your abortion through the Increasing Access to Reproductive Choice program.
People who need abortion care can reach out to the Northwest Abortion Access Fund to get additional help paying for care costs, travel, and a place to stay while traveling.
Some clinics may also provide their patients with financial assistance.
Trans Healthcare
From Planned Parenthood: Washington gender-affirming care resources
King County Trans Resource & Referral Guide: Seattle Queer/Trans (Friendly) of Color Therapists
Help Paying for Trans Health Care (per state websites)
Apple Health covers primary care, behavioral health services, speech therapy (including voice training), hormone therapy (including puberty blockers), and labs. If you are enrolled in a managed care plan, these services will be covered by your plan. Contact your plan to request a list of providers.
You can ask your managed care plan for a case manager to help coordinate your care. The member services phone number can be found on the back of your insurance card.
Other gender-affirming treatments, including surgical procedures and gender-affirming hair removal, are covered directly by Apple Health using your ProviderOne services card.
Most insurance plans are required to cover gender-affirming care. If your insurer denies services, they must explain why. A provider with experience in gender-affirming treatment will review their decision. If you believe you've been unfairly denied coverage, you can file an appeal with your insurer (here's an example) and file a complaint with the state.

Keeping Care Confidential When Using Insurance
In Washington, you have the legal right to confidentiality when using health insurance coverage from someone else's plan.
You can tell your insurance provider where to send information related to your care. If you do not tell them where to send this information, they will send it to whatever address is listed on your plan.
Your insurance provider is not allowed to share information related to your care if you are receiving sexual or reproductive healthcare, gender-affirming care, substance use treatment, mental health treatment, or treatment connected to domestic violence.
If you are 18 years old or younger and can consent to the healthcare you receive, your insurance provider is not legally allowed to share information related to your care unless you tell them in writing that it's okay to do that. This includes bills, Explanations of Benefits (EOBs), and appointment information.
If you would rather get your own separate insurance coverage for sexual and reproductive healthcare, the Family Planning Only program may be a good option.
