Protecting Minors in Federal Health Plans Act
This bill prohibits federal health plans (like the Federal Employees Health Benefits program) from covering gender-affirming care for individuals under 18 years old. It defines gender-affirming care broadly as medical interventions for gender dysphoria, including hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgeries, but includes specific exceptions for medically necessary treatments like precocious puberty, disorders of sexual development, and injuries requiring immediate care. The bill allows ongoing hormone therapy for minors already receiving it as of the effective date to continue for up to one year under a physician-supervised reduction plan. It applies only to federal health plans, not private insurance or other programs.
