Top Surgery in Oregon
Access to Gender-Affirming Care in Oregon
Oregon is one of the most supportive states in the U.S. for transgender healthcare. State law prohibits many forms of discrimination based on gender identity, and Oregon Medicaid covers medically necessary gender-affirming care, including Top Surgery.
Oregon is home to several experienced Top Surgery providers, including surgeons at hospital-based programs and private plastic surgery practices. Many accept private insurance, while several also participate in Oregon Medicaid, making Oregon one of the more accessible states for gender-affirming chest surgery.
Oregon Top Surgery Surgeons Who Accept Medicaid
The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is Oregon's Medicaid program. Most OHP members receive their benefits through a coordinated care organization (CCO), such as Health Share of Oregon, CareOregon, Trillium or the Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization (EOCCO).
The following surgeons currently accept Oregon Medicaid (OHP):
- Dr. Jens Berli, Dr. Blair Peters and Dr. Monica Llado-Farrulla — OHSU Transgender Health Program
- Dr. Hemangini Thakar — Legacy Medical Group
- Dr. Kyle Baltrusch — Portland Plastic Surgery Group
Important: A surgeon may accept Oregon Medicaid but may not be in-network with your particular plan. Before requesting a consultation, log in to your insurance member portal or call the number on your insurance card to confirm that the surgeon is in-network and whether a referral or prior authorization is required. Learn more about how to find an in-network surgeon.
Surgeons in Oregon
Most Top Surgery providers are located in the Portland metropolitan area, including the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Transgender Health Program, Legacy Health and Northwest Permanente. Patients living elsewhere in Oregon often travel to Portland for surgery, although options are also available in Eugene and Lake Oswego.
Choosing the right surgeon depends on factors such as surgical experience, insurance participation, wait times, available techniques and your individual anatomy and goals. There is no single "best" Top Surgery surgeon for every patient. Reviewing before-and-after photos and discussing your goals during a consultation can help you find the best fit for your needs.
