Is transgender body contouring covered by insurance?

At least in California, transgender body contouring may be covered by insurance. At the GCC, our insurance concierge team will ask for the required documents to secure full or partial coverage for your medically necessary gender-affirming care. Please note that since May of 2023, most insurance companies are reimbursing less to patients for body contouring procedures. Given the changing rules and policies around certain medically necessary gender-affirming care, we ask that you work with us to secure full or partial coverage for your care. You can learn more about our efforts to secure affordable care for our patients here.

Can body contouring be combined with other gender-affirming surgeries?

Because our patients create personalized and customizable plans to realize their bodily goals, body contouring and top surgery can sometimes be incorporated into the same surgical plan. However, some surgeries may be difficult to undergo simultaneously due to recovery periods or other medical constraints. A surgical consultation is the best time to get a concrete answer to this question.

How do I know if transgender body contouring is right for me?

There is no simple way to know if transgender body contouring is right for our patients. Through a careful and trusting process, an initial consultation with a surgeon can create an open conversation around gender dysphoria and the possibilities to relieve these sensations, your personal goals, and whether or not surgery is the best way to achieve them. We encourage you to request a free consultation to know if transgender body contouring is right for you.
