Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral from my primary care physician to receive services at Central Outreach?

No, you do not need a referral from your primary care physician. We welcome anyone seeking services related to gender identity and expression, regardless of whether they have been referred by another provider. Our team has extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and we strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

I’m interested in transitioning, but I’m uncertain. Can I still make an appointment?

Yes! We understand that the decision to transition can be a difficult and complex process. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, whether you are just beginning to explore your options or have already made a decision. We offer a range of services and resources to help you navigate this journey at your own pace.

How do I navigate insurance for gender-affirming care?

Central Outreach will provide care regardless of your insurance situation – even if you have no insurance at all. If you are insured, start by reviewing your policy to understand what is covered, including hormone therapy and any procedures you’re interested in pursuing. Many insurers require letters from mental health professionals or prior authorizations for certain treatments. Contact your provider for clarification, and don’t hesitate to advocate for your rights. Your Central Outreach provider will be happy to help with understanding insurance policies and filing appeals if necessary.

How can I access resources for non-medical aspects of transitioning, like legal name changes?

Navigating legal aspects of transitioning, such as name and gender marker updates, can feel overwhelming, especially in our current landscape. Central Outreach is here to support you in this process, and we have a list of trusted resources to help. These may include legal clinics, pro bono attorneys, and community organizations that offer assistance with navigating name changes and other legal documents.
