The healthcare industry is facing increasing uncertainty regarding regulatory and coverage changes that directly impact LGBTQ+ patients. With a recent executive order restricting gender-affirming care for individuals under 19, and the Veterans Affairs system phasing out treatments for gender dysphoria, clinicians and healthcare organizations are being forced to reassess documentation, coding, and compliance protocols.
At the same time, reports of possible federal cuts to HIV prevention programs raise new concerns about funding and continuity of care. Questions are emerging across the board: Will private insurers follow federal trends in denying coverage for LGBTQ+-related services?
