Medicare & GCS

As most of you know Medicare is now covering trans* related surgeries and healthcare, but everyone is still muddling through the process. It has not filtered down to what is covered and how to get that coverage. Doctors don’t know, insurance companies don’t know, and we don’t know what exactly is covered and what is covered and how to code it to get it covered. So the insurance companies fallback on their standard answer… no.

Someone put out a map of surgeons who take Medicare…


But be advised that the map might not have up to date information or erroneous data. They list Dr. Bowers as not taking Medicare at this time but according to an email on WPATH elist she is but has to work clients into her schedule.
