INTRODUCTION A deformity of the jaw can be defined as any variation in these bones from the normal for the sex, age, and race of the patient; but only rela- tively gross variations come within the field of surgical repair. It is always possible by close examination to discover some degree of asymmetry in soft and bony tissues of the face, but the great majority of variations in facial skeleton, both symmetrical and unilateral, are scarcely noticeable to ordinary examination and require no treatment. Next in order of severity are a group of congenital origin which, given early and full ortho- dontic treatment, respond well without the need of surgery. This group includes a few of the early-cases of prognathism, of congenital open bite, and of recession of the jaw. Almost every case with these deformities can be improved by early orthodontic treatment. But all the more severe cases of prognathism, of recession, and the jaw deformities seen in patients with cleft palate, need surgical intervention if the correction is to be a complete one.

    Gender Reassignment Surgery Policy Number: PG0311 ADVANTAGE | ELITE | HMO Last Review: 07/01/2021 INDIVIDUAL MARKETPLACE | PROMEDICA MEDICARE PLAN | PPO GUIDELINES This policy does not certify benefits or authorization of benefits, which is designated by each individual policyholder terms, conditions, exclusions and limitations contract. It does not constitute a contract or guarantee regarding coverage or reimbursement/payment. Self-Insured group specific policy will supersede this general policy when group supplementary plan document or individual plan decision directs otherwise. Paramount applies coding edits to all medical claims through coding logic software to evaluate the accuracy and adherence to accepted national standards. This medical policy is solely for guiding medical necessity and explaining correct procedure reporting used to assist in making coverage decisions and administering benefits. SCOPE X Professional X Facility DESCRIPTION Transgender is a broad term that can be used to describe people whose gender identity is different from the gender they were thought to be when they were born. Gender dysphoria (GD) or gender identity disorder is defined as evidence of a strong and persistent cross-gender identification, which is the desire to be, or the insistence that one is of the other gender. Persons with this disorder experience a sense of discomfort and inappropriateness regarding their anatomic or genetic sexual characteristics. Individuals with GD have persistent feelings of gender discomfort and inappropriateness of their anatomical sex, strong and ongoing cross-gender identification, and a desire to live and be accepted as a member of the opposite sex. Gender Dysphoria (GD) is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition, DSM-5™ as a condition characterized by the "distress that may accompany the incongruence between one’s experienced or expressed gender and one’s assigned gender" also known as “natal gender”, which is the individual’s sex determined at birth.

  • Medi-Cal Surgical Services for Transgender
    Medi-Cal Managed Care L.A. Care Clinical Guideline Subject: Medi-Cal Managed Care (Medi-Cal) Surgical Services for Transgender Beneficiaries Status: Annual review Current Effective Date: January 1, 2019 Last Review Date: February 3, 2020 Definition California Medi-Cal managed health care plans (MCPs) must provide medically necessary covered services to all Medi-Cal beneficiaries, including transgender beneficiaries. Medically necessary covered services are those services “which are reasonable and necessary to protect life, to prevent significant illness or significant disability, or to alleviate severe pain through the diagnosis and treatment of disease, illness or injury” (Title 22 California Code of Regulations § 51303). The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) recognizes the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the implementing regulations as prohibiting discrimination against transgender beneficiaries. MCPs are required to treat beneficiaries consistent with their gender identity (Title 42 United States Code § 18116; 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §§ 92.206, 92.207; see also 45 CFR § 156.125 (b)). Federal regulations prohibit MCPs from denying or limiting coverage of any health care services that are ordinarily or exclusively available to beneficiaries of one gender, to a transgender beneficiary based on the fact that a beneficiary’s gender assigned at birth, gender identity, or gender otherwise recorded is different from the one to which such services are ordinarily or exclusively available (45 CFR §§ 92.206, 92.207(b)(3)). DHCS indicates that Federal regulations further prohibit MCPs from categorically excluding or limiting coverage for health care services related to gender transition (45 CFR § 92.207(b)(4)). The insurance Gender Nondiscrimination Act (IGNA) prohibits MCPs from discriminating against individuals based on gender, including gender identity or gender expression (Health and Safety Code Section (§)1365.5).
