Question by Cole M | Posted in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered
ok im on MVP/Medicaid and i was wondering does that insurance in any way cover FTM top Surgery or if it doesn't do you know how to make it covered, like notes from doctors, therapist, endo. i have a note from a Gender therapist and going to be getting a letter from my endo i have been on T for 8 months now and if you know of any surgeons that take my insurance or does take any kind it will be helpful and have you ever hear of and scholarships for this surgery or how would you go about getting a donation for one any help would be helpful. please help me any info would be helpful because my MVP said to talk to Medicaid and Medicaid said to talk to MVP so i don't know what to do. Thakns
Answer: Sorry I don't know what MVP is? I do know some young Trans men in my state that do have their HRT covered by Medicaid. But as far as I know surgery is never covered by them. However, the rules vary state by state, so you're going to ask somebody local (therapist or friend) or call the office and ask yourself.
I know people sometimes have parties that double as fundraisers.
What does your therapist say?
Has Anyone Had To Go Through So Much To Have Bariatric Surgery Due To Their Health Insurance Requirements?
Question by mabs | Posted in Other - Diseases
Hello! I want to have barriatric surgery. OK not WANT but NEED. My doctor has advised that I definitely have it. But, my health insurance, MVP says that I have to go to a clinic, and lose 10% of my weight on my own first?! This to me seems ridiculous being that this is why people have the surgery to begin with, because we CANT on our own. Aside from that I have to see 3 doctors, a therapist, get letters written, etc! Has anyone else successfully gone through all of this? If so, how long did it take? Was it worth it? Do you have any advice? THANK YOU! I am totally postponing even begining faxing the papers into this clinic which is the 1st step because I forsee NEVER seeing a light @ the end of
Answer: This is my experience: I need to write down all the diet I tray. Go to a neumology do the sleep study and other test. Go to a cardiologist and do a stress test and ecocardiogram and electrocardiogram. Go to a nutrition's. Go to a speech with a medical educator. Go to a psychiatric evaluation. Go to and interns and do a completed blood work. I had the operation 6 month ago lose 83 lbs feel fine and I medicine free for diabetes and high blood pressure. I wait 5 month between the operation is approved and the surgery. Is a risky operation is better to be prepared also all you describe is part of the usual medical protocol for the operation.

Can My Health Insurer Consider Mitral Valve Prolapse Pre-existing If It Was Never Treated Before?
Question by jenna k | Posted in Insurance
I just got health insurance on Nov 1st. There is a 365 day waiting period for pre existing condtions. I got sick days later & on Nov 6th went to a doctor.(palpitations) Never before this had I been treated or diagnosed with these symptoms. I was dx with mitral valve prolapse and dysautonomia in Dec. My insurance co is requesting records from the dr who dx me and the claim is pending while they investigate.They say the diagnosis code indicates that my condition may be pre existing. My policy states pre-existing as:
"any condtion,no matter how caused ,which you received medical advice,diagnosis,care, or for which treatment was recommended within 2 years preceding the enrollment
Answer: I need to see the exact wording of the "symptoms" portion of the pre-existing condition definition. You write that symptoms are considered, but there's nothing in the contract language you've quoted so far that permits this.
I'll keep checking back to see if you've added this. If possible, could you quote the ENTIRE definition of "pre-existing condition," just so it's clear?
p.s. -- not all mvp's are from birth; some are aquired, for example following Rheumatic Fever. So a company cannot simply assume it's pre-existing and deny based on diagnosis code alone.
EDIT: Jenna, I saw what you're referring to, but the problem is, you
