Reminder to contact your doctor and change your diagnosis from whatever variant of "trans" and put "unspecified hormone disorder" or something similar

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans.
Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect.
I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”

Unspecified diagnoses are a red flag for payment and authorization.
Be Aware: if your doctor does this for you, it is fraud, it will add issues to payment and approval.
I’m not saying don’t do this. I’m saying BE READY for the consequences.
Respect the risk Drs are taking here.
Being informed about possible outcomes is how we make good decisions for ourselves and our loved ones.
Generic will automatically code to unspecified.
Codes are based on what your doctor documents.
The codes rule it all.
