Understand your options for transgender surgery insurance coverage in Los Angeles. Maximize your access to gender-affirming care by understanding how insurance works. At Transitions, we believe that everyone deserves access to affirming procedures, and we’re here to help guide you through the process of using your insurance for transgender surgery and recovery support.
We accept all PPO insurance plans
Transitions proudly accepts all PPO insurance plans for gender-affirming surgical and non-surgical services. If you have a PPO policy and are looking for transgender surgery insurance coverage in Los Angeles, there’s a strong chance you’ll be eligible to use your benefits at our Pasadena or Beverly Hills locations. We work with you and your insurance provider to determine your coverage options and guide you through pre-authorization and paperwork.
What types of procedures may be covered
PPO insurance plans often cover a range of gender-affirming procedures, especially when supported by appropriate documentation. While every plan is different, covered gender-affirming services may include:
- Top surgery (mastectomy or breast augmentation)
- Facial feminization or masculinization surgery
- Body contouring procedures (liposuction, fat grafting, hip or buttock implants, etc.)
- Hormonal therapy and related services
- Medically necessary revisions or post-operative care
- Non-surgical treatments (e.g., scar revision, IV therapy, hyperbaric oxygen)
How we support you with insurance
Understanding transgender surgery insurance coverage in Los Angeles for gender-affirming procedures can feel stressful and confusing, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Transitions, we go beyond providing surgical and non-surgical care.
We also act as your advocates when it comes to navigating your insurance benefits. From verifying your coverage to appealing denied claims, here’s how we can help:
Insurance verification and benefit review
Before you commit to anything, we help you understand what your PPO plan covers. Our patient care coordinators will contact your insurance provider on your behalf, review your policy, and explain your benefits in simple terms. We’ll walk you through which procedures may be eligible, what your financial responsibility may be, and how to move forward.
Insurance verification and benefit review
Most insurance plans require pre-authorization before covering gender-affirming surgery. We take the lead in preparing and submitting all necessary medical documentation, including letters of medical necessity, procedure codes, and any additional materials your insurer needs. Our team ensures everything is submitted correctly to avoid delays or denials.
Appeals and insurance advocacy
If your insurance provider denies coverage, that’s not the end of the road. In the state of California, you have the right to appeal your coverage denial as a transgender individual. We have experience navigating appeals and will help craft a compelling case for reconsideration. We’ll work with your referring providers and write formal appeal letters that meet your insurer’s criteria. In many cases, we’re able to overturn denials with a strong, well-documented appeal.
Ongoing support throughout your journey
Our involvement doesn’t stop once your procedure is scheduled. If additional paperwork is required before or after surgery for further authorizations, reimbursements, or billing support, we’re on hand to assist. Whether you’re preparing for top surgery or facial feminization, we’re your partner through every stage of your transition.
If your insurance doesn’t cover a procedure
Even if your PPO plan doesn’t cover a specific procedure, we want you to know that you still have options. Transitions offers:
- Transparent, up-front pricing for all services
- Payment plans and financing options
- Support with documentation for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or reimbursement plans
- Detailed receipts and documentation that you may need to submit to a supplemental insurer
