Show full summary
- Children and families: People enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP would not get federal coverage for listed surgeries, chest implants, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormones when those are used for gender transition.
- Medical exceptions: Federal funding would still cover puberty suppression for diagnosed precocious puberty and procedures or treatments deemed medically necessary for certain disorders of sex development or to repair injuries from prior procedures.
- Medicaid and CHIP programs: The bill would add new, explicit disallowances to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program so those specified procedures are ineligible for federal reimbursement.

Blocks Medicaid and CHIP gender care
If enacted, the bill would stop federal Medicaid and CHIP payments for procedures called "specified gender transition procedures." It would list many surgeries, implants, and some high-dose hormones and puberty blockers. The bill would allow narrow exceptions. Exceptions would include puberty drugs for precocious puberty, medically necessary treatment for certain disorders of sex development, repair after prior procedures, care to avoid imminent danger, and some parent-consented care for minors. Without federal payment, enrollees could face large out-of-pocket costs or reduced access.
