Testimonials
“My physician was wonderful, I had never been seen by a transgender doctor before, a very uplifting and empowering experience, I had no doubt that she would be able to provide exactly what I needed.”
“Plume made a big difference, I got first blood work, since I’ve been off medicare it has been hard to get blood work. Other services they offer are amazing. The only of its kind.”
“I had 90-day gap, between when my job would start insurance. Since I am not a policy-maker it was easy to misunderstand the plan. Plume made it simple, HRT was covered and I could get on with my life. “

Insurance may be used to cover the cost of hormone medication, but not the Plume service. Check with your insurance provider regarding coverage.
Can Plume be my primary medical care provider?
Plume strongly recommends that any patient has a primary care provider to attend to other medical conditions and routine care. We are happy to offer suggestions for a primary care provider that is sensitive to gender diversity/queer identity if needed.
What if I have an emergency?
What if I’m having a mental health crisis?
Those experiencing a mental health crisis should call the Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860 or the National Suicide Prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
LGBTQ+ youth should call The Trevor Project lifeline at 1-866-488-7386 or visit https://www.thetrevorproject.org/ for additional resources.
What gender-affirming medications does Plume prescribe?
Special note on testosterone: The only controlled substance that will ever be prescribed by Plume is testosterone, which is a schedule III controlled substance. Some states require at least one in-person visit to get started on testosterone, which we will help facilitate if needed.
Download Spruce, our communication app, and we will help get you scheduled.
Does Plume provide letters for name or gender marker changes?

Out-of-pocket labs can range from $150 – $500. You don’t have to worry about that with the Plume membership.
All labs are through Quest Diagnostics for monitoring hormones and other blood tests. They have many lab draw sites throughout the country.
