My 3 Blogs on Medicare Transgender Surgery

 In October 2022, the Annals of Internal Medicine had a long historical article (Magrath) and op ed (Keuroghlian) on transgender surgery, focused on Johns Hopkins clinical services.

I had written a long blog on Medicare's history when there was a judicial ruling "against non coverage" in 2014 and when there was a follow-up NCD in 2016.
