Top Surgery in Iowa

Access to gender-affirming healthcare in Iowa can vary. Iowa has some legal protections for transgender people. In 2007, Iowa passed a law that added "gender identity" to the list of protected classes under the Iowa Civil Rights Act, meaning discrimination based on gender identity in employment, housing, and public accommodations is prohibited in most cases. Iowa does not have a state law explicitly requiring insurance companies to cover gender-affirming care, but some health insurance plans in the state do offer coverage for surgery, depending on the plan. The University of Iowa Health Care LGBTQ Clinic offers comprehensive transgender care in a welcoming, inclusive environment. They take a wide array of insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare.
