## Summary

**Blocks federal funding and tax breaks for gender transition procedures.** This bill would remove tax deductions for gender-transition care and bar federal payments and required coverage for a broad set of hormonal and surgical gender-transition procedures across Medicaid, CHIP for minors, and Medicare. - People seeking gender-transition care would be denied federal coverage and tax relief for a long list of treatments named in the bill, including puberty-suppressing drugs, supraphysiologic hormone regimens, and many reconstructive or cosmetic surgeries. - Children and families would see CHIP federal payments prohibited for minors' gender-transition procedures, though the bill excludes puberty suppression for precocious puberty and care for certain disorders of sexual development. - Taxpayers and insurers would be affected because the bill would deny medical-expense deductions for these services and would exclude gender-transition procedures from the Affordable Care Act's essential health benefits, making plans not required to cover them.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Medicaid and CHIP would not cover transitions: cost, high. If enacted, federal Medicaid and CHIP payments would not cover specified gender transition procedures. For CHIP, this would apply to minors. It would also block federal payments for running programs that provide these services. Listed exceptions would still apply, like some sex development disorder…
- Medicare would not cover transition care: cost, high. If enacted, Medicare would not cover specified gender transition procedures. Listed exceptions would still apply, like emergencies and treating complications. The change would apply to items and services provided on or after enactment. People seeking this care could face higher costs.
- No tax deduction for transition care: cost, high. If enacted, you could not deduct medical costs for gender transition care. The bill defines covered hormonal and surgical procedures and lists exceptions, like some sex development disorders, emergencies, and treating complications. This would apply to tax years that start after enactment.
- Individual plans need not cover transition care: cost, medium. If enacted, the federal government would not list gender transition procedures as essential health benefits for individual and small-group plans. Plans would not have to cover them under that standard. This would take effect at enactment. Some medical exceptions in the bill still apply.
