Are you on Medicare?  Medicare has covered trans health procedures since 2014.  I'm trying to get my FTM top surgery paid for that way.

Does it matter what state you live in?  I'm in Connecticut and on Medicare.

To a point. States are allowed some wiggle room in how they interpret what counts as medically necessary. You'd have to research your state's policies to be sure.

Also, there's the matter of whether you even have a decent surgeon that takes Medicare within your state. I've known a couple people from other states who had only one or two options, and the results were...not good.

Okay, thanks. 

I'm still in the research phase of top surgery, so there's no hurry, but I DO plan on finding out if they do take Medicare there, as well as what kidds of surgeries they do there.

Thanks for the info!
