does starbucks still fully cover gender affirming surgeries ? (fastcompany.com)
submitted by palmosea
Hello,
I am trying to get these benefits by working at starbucks but upon trying to do research I noticed little to no resources that outline the policies and such.
There's also a lot of fear mongering articles about losing benefits from unions, and starbucks changing what plan these benefits are included under to their primary plan. Have these benefits actually been lost? Would it still be a good idea to aim for these benefits or should I try to find another way to cover my surgery expenses?

Sbux no longer 100% covers gender affirming procedures as of October. It’s now similar to a copay system where you don’t pay the whole cost, but you do pay a significant portion.
If it’s feasible for you and you plan on staying with the company long enough to pay for insurance and save for your copays, it may be worth it. In my case it will be cheaper to save for the whole cost on my own. You can certainly contact the benefits line once you’re employed (if you aren’t already), they can get you more details based on your situation/needs. Best of luck.
