Simple Steps to Figure Out How to Get Approval Letters for Gender Affirming Surgery!

Are you getting ready for a top surgery? Or maybe you are planning to undergo bottom surgery?

If you are, then you’ll need letters of approval from a mental health provider to clear you for the surgery.

You’ll also need approval letters in order to get cleared with your insurance carrier and to get financial reimbursement for the surgeries.

But here is a challenge!

Many people struggle to figure out how many letters they will need?

Because there is lack of consistent information on this topic.

  • Some providers say you will need one letter.

  • Others claim you need two.

  • Some say you need one from a doctor and one from a therapist.

  • While others claim you need two from two different therapists and one of them has to be a licensed psychologist!

As you can see, it becomes a confusing race to get your letters.

Resulting in mistakes along the way which end up prolonging your transition.

So I set out to share with you an informative video on how many letters you will need as per WPATH guidelines.
