550+ Companies Covering Sex-Denying Procedures for Minor Dependents
July 28, 2026According to February 2026 data from the Human Rights Campaign, 550+ companies provide health insurance coverage for transgender medical interventions, including puberty blockers, hormones, and surgical procedures, to covered minor dependents through their employee health plans. HRC reports this information after a corporate representative uses an online HRC portal to upload, or affirm a previously uploaded copy of, the company’s Summary Plan Description (SPD) or Summary of Material Modification (SMM) that explicitly shows coverage for transition-related care. The representative must also upload a copy of the company’s applicable clinical guidelines (medical policy). These companies range from major financial institutions and law firms to retailers, insurers, and tech giants. Shareholders, customers, parents, and employees deserve to know where their companies stand. 1792 Exchange calls on every company on this list to adopt clear protections for minor dependents in their healthcare plans and get back to business.

The Full CEI Equality 100 List
July 8, 2026A verified 100 on HRC’s Corporate Equality Index means the employer has adopted every policy on the Human Rights Campaign’s checklist. To score 100, an employer must, among other things, cover gender-transition procedures in its health plans with no exclusions (including minor dependents). HRC can also strip points for any activity it deems to “undermine” LGBTQ+ equality. The CEI is voluntary. Companies choose to log into the HRC portal and submit public and private company documents for a rating. The HRC expands the criteria every few years, meaning a 100 over time indicates continual adoption of new policies and practices it introduces. A&O Shearman Attentive Mobile Inc.
