Why Share Your SOGI Information?

Sharing your SOGI information helps us improve access to equitable health care for you and all our members. This information can help us:

  • Support your doctor choice
  • Identify your specific health care needs
  • Address health disparities you may go through
  • Deliver vital health care services to you

While giving us your SOGI information is helpful, it is not required. Choosing not to give your SOGI information will not change your health coverage or premiums. BCBSMT does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, age, disability or sex, such as sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. We will strive to honor a member’s preferences, such as the use of preferred pronouns.

Your Privacy Matters

We will take the same measures to protect your SOGI information and to stop unauthorized disclosures that we do for all health information. We acknowledge the sensitivity of this information and we will keep it private.

To learn how we use SOGI information, review the privacy information page. To change who can view or access SOGI and other information, review the Standard Authorization Form .
