Gender-Affirming Surgery Process
Your process starts with an intake and information session to welcome you to our program. Our team of coordinators will help to schedule your appointments and support you with next steps.
Insurance
We know that navigating insurance coverage can be confusing and challenging. Our team is here to help you understand the process by answering your questions and providing resources so that you can self-advocate. We accept Medicare, and most PA Medicaid plans and commercial insurances. We will confirm your insurance is accepted during registration.
Insurance coverage and benefits are specific to each individual’s plan—not all insurance coverage is the same even within the same insurance company. To get more information on your specific coverage benefits, you can call the member services number listed on your insurance card and ask about the coverage specifics for the services you desire. You also have the right to request a copy of your medical policy.
