Medicaid Coverage Of Gender Dysphoria

Yesterday morning we received an email from the lobbyist who is working with us on this year’s legislative agenda, she wrote…
The Regulations Review Committee unanimously approved the regulation to require Medicaid to cover treatment for Gender Dysphoria today.
That effort was started by Lambda Legal last June with inquires to the Department of Social Services asking them to review their policy on transgender health care. CTAC along with GLAD and True Colors submitted comments on the purposed regulation change.

The new regulation goes into effect in 30 days.
