Hi,
I live in Washington State. I have been looking for a surgeon for Top surgery who accepts Medicare. That is my only insurance. Does anyone know of someone?
thanks

WPATH standards don't require hormone therapy as a prerequisite to Top Surgery but I'm not sure about what standards Medicare follows in this regard. Most surgeons require a letter from a mental health professional prior to performing surgery, so that's something you may want to look into if you haven't yet.
I hope this gets covered for you!!

Great to hear that you're finding information to move things along, Ethan! If, through your process, you come across key info that you think would be helpful to pass on, feel free to open a thread on the subject.
