This is wonderful! I'm so very happy for you. I hope everything goes terrifically.

Lydia Blaney thank you!! Just found out the insurance company my dad's palm is under is a subcompany of Harvard Pilgrim so they have different plans and they don't cover transgender care as of this year. So that throws a wrench in my plans but I've got a new youcaring page set up and hopefully start fundraising once they send me a quote for the cost of self paying for it.

Does Bartlett require a letter from a therapist?

[@LiamMagan]

Technically yes if you are going through insurance, the insurance company requires it. I was able to find a therapist to meet with me for two sessions so that she could write a letter for me.

Hey man! If this is too private, then don’t feel reassured to answer but how much did you end up paying for surgery with him? I heard a rumor that someone said that he charged a $2500-$5k fee that wasn’t covered by insurance. I’m just curious because that’s obviously way to much money to not be covered. Thank you for the help!

[@LiamMagan]

Arvella Dragonstorm the fee you’re talking about is the “cosmetic” fee. It was $3000 for me I think. The total for surgery was $9800. My insurance wouldn’t cover any of it. Typically insurance will only cover the mastectomy portion and all the anesthesia and whatnot. Having the nipple grafts created and placed in a more male location is considered to be “cosmetic.” They explain it all to you at your consultation. I don’t remember it all now as it’s been almost 3 years since my first consult with them. That cosmetic fee is pretty typical of any surgeon you go to, from what I’ve heard anyway. I hope that helps!

I was looking for Richard Bartlett of Matrix Energetics so this was very confusing. I didn’t know what you were talking about at first. I thought you were born a dude cuz I would never think you were a female. Good luck to you!
