Navigation Medicaid transgender procedure ban enforced despite pending federal appeal
Although a Medicaid transgender procedure coverage ban is on hold, the state took action to enforce it last week while it’s pending on appeal.
Five Medicaid health care insurers allegedly broke the state’s rules against covering transgender procedures with taxpayer funds between Dec. 1, 2022, and Feb. 28.
In response, the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration delivered cease and desist letters and sanctioned them for allegedly funding the medical practices carried out by health care providers, according to media reports.
