Telehealth Transgender Hormone Therapy

At your first visit, a Planned Parenthood provider will:

• Review your medical history
• Review our informed consent form with you
• Measure your weight and blood pressure
• Discuss your transition goals and create a care plan with you
• Draw lab tests
• Explain how to take hormones and answer any questions you might have

Please bring your photo ID, medical insurance information, and any lab test results done in the last 6 months. If you are currently prescribed hormone therapy from another provider, please bring those health records as well. 

If there are no pressing health concerns or obvious contraindications (reason to withhold service) during your initial visit, a provider will prescribe your hormones to a pharmacy of your choice for you to pick up.

With or without insurance, Planned Parenthood is here to provide care, no matter what.

We're in-network for most insurance plans and accept a variety of other payment options to meet your needs. It's a good idea to contact your health insurance company directly before your visit to find out if this service is covered. They can tell you if you'll need to pay for anything out-of-pocket.

If you don't have insurance, our expert staff can help you figure out cost and payments. We encourage you to discuss your options before your visit.

No. Planned Parenthood uses an informed consent model, which means we do not require a note from a mental health therapist to receive hormone therapy. 

We believe when our patients are fully informed, they can make the best decision for themselves and their bodies. 

Yes! You'll need to schedule an initial hormone therapy visit so a provider can go through our informed consent with you.

Be sure to bring information about your current hormone therapy and any relevant lab results from your outside provider. Current lab test results are important because they may help us avoid duplicate tests and delays in your prescription. 

If you are post-puberty and a minor, you’ll need to bring a parent or guardian to your first hormone therapy visit so they can sign some paperwork. You’ll need to bring a parent or guardian if you are under the age of:

• 18 if you visit a health center in Iowa, Minnesota, or South Dakota.
• 19 if you visit a health center in Nebraska.
