Transgender Health Care - The Reality

From Dallas Voice : Who decides what is "Medically Necessary"?

    "Transition-related care" can be divided into two parts, Keisling said: the costs directly related to gender reassignment surgery, and the other treatments and services that are related, things like checking hormone levels, lab tests, and mental health services associated with the transition process.

    "Even someone who has fully transitioned probably still needs to get her hormone levels checked on a regular basis. And insurance companies will deny those claims by saying they are 'transition-related,'" Keisling said.
