Panelists included Christy Mallory, Legal Director of the Williams Institute; Jerrica Kirkley, Co-Founder & CMO of Plume; Monica Prata, Founder of Nouveau She; and Scout, Executive Director of the National LGBT Cancer Network.

Panelists provided great insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with accessing gender-affirming care services through Medicaid, and explored strategies for navigating the political complexities that often hinder or lack clear language addressing coverage for necessary medical care, essential for the well-being of Medicaid beneficiaries. The webinar also examined the potential benefits of reimagining Medicaid-covered services, discussing ways to lower and remove barriers to accessing gender-affirming care while exploring cutting-edge innovations in the field.
