HB 2065 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Repeals provisions relating to gender transition procedures

HB 2065 repeals Missouri's current laws specifically addressing gender transition procedures (sections 191.1720, 208.152, 217.230, and 221.120) and replaces them with general Medicaid coverage rules. The new provisions, codified as sections 208.152, 217.230, and 221.120, integrate gender transition procedures into standard Medicaid coverage criteria like medical necessity, without explicit reference to gender transition. This bill removes the prior specific legal framework for gender transition services and subjects them to the same general Medicaid process as other medical treatments. It does not explicitly exclude gender transition procedures from coverage but changes their legal basis to align with standard Medicaid rules.
