Insurance

We accept many insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance, and offer out-of-pocket options as needed. Before your first visit, we ask that you obtain letters of readiness from your Primary Care Provider / Prescriber, and Mental Health provider, so we can efficiently schedule your surgery at a time that works for you. You will find the required documents for each procedure listed under the Procedures page. All of our pre-operative requirements are based on the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care (Version 8).
