IL | The Illinois Department of Insurance has issued Company Bulletin 2024-01.
The purpose of this Bulletin is to provide guidance to issuers regarding coverage relating to gender affirming care.
The Department reminds issuers that, as described in Company Bulletin 2020-16 and reflected in both the initial and currently effective versions of 50 Ill. Adm. Code 2603.35, categorically excluding coverage for medically necessary services, procedures, or surgical treatments for gender dysphoria is discriminatory conduct and not allowed, including, for example, medically necessary surgical treatments such as facial feminization or masculinization.
