Can I ask how much you paid for the surgery? I've been wanting it for a while and I've just heard it's so overwhelmingly expensive I haven't had the energy to confirm that.
At least in any state on the west coast it would be covered by insurance pretty much entirely I am pretty sure. In fact I have a trans friend who paid 50 dollar copay for her FFS and another 50 dollar copay for her top surgery (BA)
God damn :sicko-wistful: I would have thought ffs would be like, thousands or tens of thousands. Just completely out of reach. Cool that insurance covers it.
California requires coverage I believe for all gender affirming stuff. Laser hair removal for face (you can argue for body too...), ffs, BA, bottom surgery... depends on your insurance plan but I would hit the deductible for this so it would be like 2k?
Not a dime. My insurance paid for it in its entirety. Mind you I met a $3k deductible prior to it. However, it was roughly $36k if my hospital paperwork is to be believed.
In my experience it was hitting the deductible and a copay for the hospital stay. My deductible was in the lower end so it wasn't that bad. It varies based on insurance and state though
