Top Surgery in Alabama
Access to gender-affirming care in Alabama is severely limited, especially for surgeries. By law, patients must be at least 19 years old to receive gender-affirming treatments, including top surgery, and Alabama Medicaid does not cover any gender-affirming procedures. This leaves adults seeking surgery responsible for the full cost or reliant on private insurance, which varies widely in coverage. With only two surgeons in the state offering top surgery, many trans Alabamians face long wait times or must travel out of state to find experienced, affirming care.
