Top Surgery in Nevada

Nevada is generally considered a supportive state for transgender people, though experiences can vary depending on location. The state has strong legal protections against discrimination based on gender identity in employment and housing, and hate crime laws also cover gender identity or expression. Cities like Las Vegas and Reno have vibrant LGBTQ+ communities, with inclusive businesses and support organizations. However, rural areas in Nevada often lack these resources.

Healthcare access is another strength, with many insurers covering gender-affirming care, including hormone therapy and surgery, and Nevada Medicaid explicitly prohibits exclusions for transition-related care. While there are a good number of experienced Top Surgery surgeons in Nevada, only a few of them take insurance and none of them take Medicaid or Medicare. Nevadans with Medicaid or Medicare often seek care through the Transgender Health Program at the University of Utah. Hopefully, the University of Nevada will step up to develop a comprehensive gender-affirming care program in the near future.
