The State of Iowa will almost certainly appeal this ruling.

It’s ‘elective’ surgery and should not be covered.

OK, how about rhinoplasty, facelifts, botox, tummy tucks, and hair transplants?

I’m holding back on contacting Ted Cruz unless I’m totally denied.

Medicaid is between 70% and 90% federal dollars, so don’t laugh, you’re paying for it.

I cannot get covered oral surgery/reconstruction for multiple benign tumors because it would be dental care and cosmetic.

Do you have a Veterans’s Advocate assigned to you?
Some VA Hospitals, such as mine in San Francisco, have staff to help answer certain questions, or contact certain providers of care. Usually, a vet has to ask for an advocate’s assistance. Most do not. Most don’t even know of such a choice being available.

Have your primary doctor try getting a reaction from them.
If you are eligible for a certain prosthetic, you should be getting it, or at least an estimated date of availability.

Some prosthetics offices are very quiet and very slow.
They may have some volunteer at the front desk who does not really know what their talking about and may be too lazy to get up from the chair to ask about it. That I have seen myself. Call within the first two hours of the morning or right after that office takes lunch. They most likely will take a full lunch and lock the door. Good Luck!

Ergo when gender reassignment surgery leaves the patient depressed and suicidal two years later, steps off a 7th floor balcony to end their misery, the state of Iowa Medicaid system can be sued for wrongful death along with the doctors who perform the genital torture?
