Referring a Patient for Surgery Consultations
To facilitate the insurance authorization and surgery scheduling process, all patients being referred to UCLA for top surgery (i.e., mastectomy, breast reduction, breast augmentation, or chest reconstruction), facial reconstruction (i.e., rhinoplasty, facial feminization, facial masculinization), or bottom surgery (i.e., genital reconstruction including phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, and vaginoplasty) should have a statement of support from a master’s level or higher-level behavioral health professional submitted prior to scheduling a consultation. Criteria to be documented in letters of support are summarized in WPATH’s Standards of Care, Version 8, Appendix D.
