Insurance coverage for gender affirming surgeries is accepted by Dr. Sajan
SEATTLE, WA / ACCESS Newswire / September 1, 2026 / For transgender and nonbinary patients considering gender affirming surgery, insurance can be an important factor when choosing a surgeon. Dr. Javad Sajan of Allure Esthetic Plastic Surgery accepts private insurance for transgender and gender affirming surgeries and is in-network with most private insurance carriers.
His practice offers a range of gender affirming procedures, including FTM top surgery, MTF breast augmentation, body contouring, tracheal shave procedures, and other surgical options based on each patient's goals. Insurance coverage for transgender procedures depends on the individual insurance plan, procedure, and authorization requirements, but eligible patients may be able to use their private insurance benefits for covered care.
How Does Insurance Coverage Expand Access to Gender Affirming Care?
Patients who qualify for insurance coverage for transgender procedures may have lower out-of-pocket costs for gender affirming surgery, depending on their insurance plan and benefits. By accepting most major private insurance carriers, Allure Esthetic enables patients to access surgical care through their existing health benefits.
The practice works directly with insurance companies to obtain prior authorizations and verify coverage before surgery, easing the administrative burden that often falls on patients.
