Stop Funding Genital Mutilation Act

Stops Federal Medicaid and CHIP from paying for a set of gender-transition medical services by changing existing law. It identifies certain surgeries, implants, and medications as excluded from coverage, creates narrow medical exceptions (such as treatment for some medical disorders and treatment for precocious puberty with parental/guardian consent), and sets definitions for “sex,” “female,” and “male” to apply to the rule.

The change mainly affects Medicaid and CHIP enrollees who seek gender‑affirming care, health providers who deliver those services, and state Medicaid programs that administer benefits. It may reduce federal coverage for gender-transition treatments except where a specified medical exception applies.
