Medicaid Program; Prohibition on Federal Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program Funding for Sex-Rejecting Procedures Furnished to Children

This final rule requires that a State Medicaid plan must provide that the Medicaid agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 18, and prohibits the use of Federal Medicaid dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 18. In addition, this final rule requires that a separate State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plan must provide that the CHIP agency will not make payment under the plan for sex-rejecting procedures for children under 19, and prohibits the use of Federal CHIP dollars to fund sex-rejecting procedures for individuals under the age of 19. For Medicaid and CHIP beneficiaries who are actively receiving cross-sex hormone therapy, State Medicaid and CHIP agencies may continue to claim Federal Financial Participation for those hormone therapy medications for a period of up to 6 months from the effective date of this final rule.
