Abstract

Transgender patients encounter barriers to accessing medical treatment. Although the medical field has made strides to improve transgender patients' health care experiences, programs that provide support in navigating existing obstacles are lacking. As integrated care becomes more prevalent, primary care settings have the potential to become medical havens for vulnerable patient populations. Enlisting support of professional case managers to connect transgender patients to services to meet their physical and behavioral health needs could increase health care utilization and decrease disparities.
