Protecting Minors in Federal Health Plans Act prohibits coverage of gender-affirming care for minors.
The Protecting Minors in Federal Health Plans Act amends the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program to prohibit coverage of gender-affirming care for individuals under 18 years of age. Gender-affirming care includes hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgical procedures aimed at gender transition. Exceptions are made for treatments addressing physical disorders, those consistent with biological sex for puberty stimulation, and male circumcision. Existing hormone therapy for minors may continue if supervised by a physician and concludes within a year.
