People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and queer (LGBTQ+) are part of our communities. We are committed to providing safe and equitable care for all our members.

We recognize LGBTQ+ communities may face unique health issues. We are proud to help you get the care you need as your authentic self.

We are here for you. Learn about our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

These groups and resources are here for you to learn more. Adding them does not mean they have our endorsement.

Finding Care and Your Rights

Find Providers

Find LGBTQ+ affirming providers. They know and understand the needs of LGBTQ+ people. Not all the providers listed are in our network. Please check the Find a Doctor tool first.

Things to Keep in Mind When Getting Care

  • Be open and honest with your provider. This helps them get to know you and give you the best care.
  • Be prepared. Write down all the topics you want to cover and bring that to your visit. This way, you won’t forget all that you want to talk about.
  • Do not be afraid to ask questions. If you do not understand what they are telling you, it’s important to ask questions so that you do.
  • Bring someone you trust. If you do not want to go alone, bring a friend or loved one with you.

Know your Rights

Know the rights you have when you or someone you love gets care.
