The Trans Health Project's primary activities include developing a network of attorneys capable of challenging exclusions and medical necessity denials; launching a national health care helpline for transgender individuals and advocates to receive timely assistance; and educating individuals, transgender organizations, medical and mental health providers and billing offices.
The Trans Health Project engages in alternative dispute resolution and policy advocacy to establish positive precedent in priority areas including Medicaid, employee-sponsored health plans, and ending the ongoing categorical exclusions for common surgeries such as facial surgery and chest surgery for transgender minors.
The Trans Health Project also works with A4TE’s impact litigation program on health care cases, such as Boston Alliance v. HHS, Kadel v. Folwell and Lange v. Houston County, Ga.
