Healthcare Laws and Policies: Medicaid
State Medicaid policies reflect varying interpretations of federal regulations that prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. Some state Medicaid policies explicitly include health care related to gender transition for transgender people, whereas other state policies explicitly exclude transgender health coverage and care.
Federal law prohibits discrimination in health care on the basis of gender identity. Interpretation of federal law as it applies to state Medicaid coverage, as well as state Medicaid law itself, varies from state to state, as this map illustrates. For more information, please contact NCTE or CAP.
If you have experienced discrimination in health care, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services within 180 days of when the discrimination occurred. OCR also investigates violations involving the improper disclosure or use of your private medical information.
