LGBTQIA2+ Benefits

The care you need

Coverage for your whole family

Rivian medical, dental and vision plans allow you to cover your domestic partner and your domestic partner’s children. Our domestic partner affidavit follows ACLU guidelines for what qualifies as a domestic partnership. Each plan provides free preventive care, including regular checkups and screenings, so the whole family can stay well.

Gender-affirmation benefits

When you’re enrolled in a Anthem or Kaiser medical plan, you and your covered dependents have access to a team of health advocates who can connect you to medical specialists with expertise in gender dysphoria and gender-affirming care, including hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgery, mental health services, and care management. They’ll offer you support before, during and after surgery.

Medical travel reimbursement

If you or an eligible family member that is enrolled in the Anthem health plan, have medical needs that require you to travel more than 100 miles or out of state for a medical procedure or treatment that is not available in your area, Rivian will reimburse you up to $5,000 for travel costs.

Before you book travel

Anthem Health Guides can provide additional details locating a provider, reviewing expenses that are eligible for reimbursement and advise of any requirements or limits. Anthem Health Guides can can be reached at 833-824-2275.

The National Travel and Lodging Claim Form will also need to be completed and returned to Anthem for reimbursement.
