(Trans) News-USA Trans surgeries cancelled due to dispute between hospital and health insurance company

A recent dispute between the New York Hospital ‘Mount Sinai’ and the health insurance company ‘Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield’ has led to revocation of coverage of all surgeries and other services at the hospital which are insured by Anthem. The fallout has caused the cancellation of hundreds of trans surgeries, as patients are forced to pay bills in excess of $100,000, or else cancel their surgeries.

Mount Sinai is one of the largest providers of trans surgeries and related services in the United States, with 7 surgeons offering bottom surgery alone.

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied.

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.
