Insurance & coverage for gender-affirming surgery
If you have Medi-Cal, LA Care, IEHP, or a private plan, this hub explains what is typically covered, why pre-authorization matters, and how to start — without a referral maze.
Coverage that belongs in your plan, not buried in a footer
Chrysalis Surgery is insurance-accessible. We are contracted with Medi-Cal, LA Care, IEHP, and work with private insurers. For self-pay patients, financing options are outlined at /insurance/financing/.
Gender-affirming procedures often require pre-authorization. Starting that process early — online or with our team — reduces delays between consultation and surgery.
All services across face, voice, top, bottom, body, and spa care are planned with insurance pathways in mind. Verify your specific benefits before scheduling.
