conducted in collaboration with researchers from UCLA Health and Harvard University, finds that Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming facial surgery is less common than gender-affirming chest and genital surgeries.

In 2022, when the study was conducted, 26 states and D.C. provided Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care. Gender-affirming chest and genital reconstruction was found in 17 states (63%). Explicit coverage for gender-affirming craniofacial and neck reconstruction was found in only eight states (30%). Ten states (37%) did not describe specific procedures.
