Currently the only way for me to get HRT covered by insurance is to switch my PCP to someone 1) whose clinic is 45 minute from me and 2) reminds me very much of the doctor I noped the hell away from for reasons including large amounts of body shaming and making very inappropriate comments about my body while doing examinations.

Casting net wider and reaching out to more people now, but honestly I just want to go cry in a corner forever right now.

Call your insurance customer service line, they may either be able to come up with an in network Dr that is closer or get a network exception for an out of network Dr if you have one already that is close.
