[Content Notice: Information on anti-trans discrimination in health care policy, and references to gender dysphoria, gender affirming hormones and surgeries, birth control, and menstruation.] Part 3 of 3: "What does the new Medicaid ruling mean for Trans people in Florida?" by the McKenzie Project, Inc. and TransSOCIAL, Inc. Tagged: @TheJoyandLiberationCenter, @TheMcKenzieProjectInc, @TransSocial, and @PPSENFL, and @Midcares. Alt Text: Trans Youth (under age 18) * If you are a parent of a Trans child, we can offer guidance on less expensive medications for puberty blockers that you can ask your child's physician about prescribing. * Planned Parenthood has programs for Teens that include low to no cost birth control that will suppress menses, and is available without the need for parental consent. Youth with parental consent can see a Planned Parenthood provider for GAHT [gender affirming hormone therapy] and puberty blockers, and they accept some Medicaid plans that will cover the visit and labwork. Prescription costs can potentially be covered through our co-pay program. Trans Adults (age 18 and up): * Planned Parenthood offers low cost doctors visits and labwork if you do not want to bill your insurance. They can provide GAHT services and mental [health] services, and telemedicine options are available. * Some Trans adults currently receiving Medicaid benefits may be eligible for marketplace healthcare plans that cover transition-related care, including gender affirming surgeries. You can request a consultation with us to see what options may be available to you.
