Insurers cannot demand gender questions for minors
Beginning October 1, 2026, Tennessee bars health insurers and other healthcare payers from requesting or requiring certain questions for minors. These include questions about gender identity, feeling normal in their bodies, being the correct gender, or gender confusion or dysphoria. Payers cannot cut or deny provider payments, impose penalties, or otherwise disadvantage providers for not asking. The rule covers people under 18, excluding emancipated minors and those needing emergency treatment under Tennessee's emergency-care law. It also excludes current or former armed forces, reserve, or National Guard members, and minors who have full custody of their own minor child. Questions about a female patient's menstrual period are exempt.
