Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group HRC Innovation Award 2010 Presentation
KIMPTON’S FOCUS ON EQUALITY
Considering Benefit Needs for All Kimpton Employees
Kimpton’s Focus On Equality
• Kimpton has always held diversity and inclusion
fundamental to its values
• In conjunction with KPRIDE, Kimpton began to integrate
diversity and inclusion into its benefit offerings
• Domestic Partner Benefits
• Tax Equalization (“grossing up”)
• As early as 2006, Kimpton sought to add transgender
benefits to its medical plan
The Process
• Kimpton worked through its broker, Gallagher
Benefit Services, and directly with its medical
carriers to establish transgender benefits
• In subsequent benefit renewals, Kimpton has
made the transgender benefit an essential
component of its benefits offerings
Breaking New Ground
• As result of Kimpton’s perseverance, Aetna
broke new ground
• In 2008, for the first time in Aetna’s history as an
insurer, Aetna began covering transgender benefits
on a fully insured basis
• Kimpton became the first employer to have the fully
insured benefit available through Aetna
Insurance Carriers Offering Transgender Benefits
• Kimpton established transgender benefits
through Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, and Blue
Shield of CA
• April 8, 2008, Kimpton amended its fully insured
medical plan to include transgender benefits through
Anthem Blue Cross
• October 1, 2008, transgender benefits available
through Aetna fully insured medical plan
• October 1, 2009, transgender benefits available
through fully insured Blue Shield of CA medical plan
Basis Used By Carriers
• Basis for Criteria
• Criteria and requirements were based on guidelines
established by the World Professional Association for
Transgender Health (WPATH)
• Previously known as The Harry Benjamin
International Gender Dysphoria Association's
Standards of Care for Gender Identity Disorders
