APA WF 26-07 Nonpayment for Certain Gender Transition Procedures

The proposed revisions implement Senate Bill 904, now codified at Section 1-800 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The revision adds language providing that OHCA does not reimburse for or provide coverage of gender transition procedures, as defined by Section 1-800 of Title 63. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the procedure is provided to a minor or an adult. The statutory definition excludes behavioral health services or mental health counseling, medications to treat depression or anxiety, certain medications used to treat precocious or delayed puberty, certain services related to disorders of sex development, treatment of complications, and emergency treatment. The law became effective upon passage and approval pursuant to the emergency clause.
