激素覆盖
As of August 2013, 激素疗法 prescriptions are covered in the 大学 学生健康保险计划 (SHIP), which is available to all students.
If you are not covered by the 大学-sponsored plan and are covered by a family member’s health plan, then you will need to check your specific guidelines of coverage. 此外， 大学健康中心 (UHC) does not provide initial prescriptions for hormone treatments. 然而, UHC providers will offer continued hormonal therapy management and assistance with administering injectable medications after initial consultation and start with an endocrinologist or other clinical provider who specializes in trans health. This can be done through collaborative care management between your outside provider and the UHC. You can call 973-655-3459 to schedule an appointment at UHC to discuss your needs and obtain information on the requirements needed for care at the UHC.
