HB 1933 | Trans-related healthcare exclusion

Session: 2017-2018

ACLU-PA Position: Opposes

House Bill 1933 would prohibit CHIP and Medicaid from covering a range of transition-related services for the nearly three million Pennsylvanians children and adults who are insured through these programs. It would exclude from coverage counseling services, prescription drugs, physician and hospital services, and surgical procedures – even when an individual’s doctor determines this is medically necessary care.
