Do Health Insurance Plans Cover Sex Change?

LAS VEGAS - Sept. 2, 2021 - PRLog -- Sex Reassignment and Health Insurance
For health insurance plans that are ACA (Obamacare) compliant, your Gender reassignment surgery may be covered.

Covered services for Gender Dysphoria (a disorder characterized by diagnostic criteria) which is classified in the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, can be provided (if approved) and if it has been prior authorized. We recommend calling the insurance company and getting permission usually with the assistance of your physician. You most likely will need to meet certain diagnostic criteria and satisfy any prerequisite requirements that will be required to be approved.

Non ACA (not Obamacare) Health Insurance Plans
In most cases, if your health plan is not ACA (Obamacare), health insurance plans have exclusions for "services related to sex change" or "sex reassignment surgery."  You will have to look at the summary of benefits of the plan you are looking at.

Gender on your Nevada Health Link Marketplace Coverage
When you sign up for a Marketplace plan, (Nevada Health Link) you should use the full name that appears on your social security card. If there is a discrepancy between the name that you provide and the name that the Social Security Administration has on file for you, you will get a letter or email letting you know that you need to go back to your application and update your name. On your health insurance application, it is also important that you select the gender that appears on most of your legal documents, such as your social security card and driver's license.
