Key takeaway District Court ruled against the insurance company, Premera Blue Cross, last year.
The Trump administration has filed a brief in support of an insurance company that denied coverage for gender-affirming surgery for minors. This move comes after a U.S. District Court ruled against the insurance company, Premera Blue Cross, last year.
The court had ruled that Premera discriminated against two minors who were denied top surgery coverage. The company had been covering similar surgeries for cisgender youth. Further details on this development are available from LGBTQ Nation, including the court's ruling and the administration's involvement in the case.
