Idaho Gender Affirming Surgery Letters – FAQ
Do I need a WPATH letter for surgery?
Yes. Surgeons and insurers require a WPATH compliant letter of medical necessity for top, bottom, and many facial surgeries. My letters meet WPATH Standards of Care v8 and DSM-5 criteria, so they are accepted nationwide. In Idaho, some providers still ask for extra requirements that are not part of WPATH. My letters are written to clear those hurdles the first time.
How fast can I get my letter?
Most clients receive their letter the same day as their session. Delivery is guaranteed within 48 hours. Read more about my gender assessment process.
What does it cost?
The flat fee is $185, paid at booking. That includes your session, your letter, and free revisions or insurer appeals for 365 days.
Do I have to be on hormones?
No. WPATH does not require a history of hormones before surgery. Your readiness is not defined by whether you have started HRT. That said, some surgeons and insurers in Idaho still ask for hormone history as part of their approval process. I craft each letter to match the exact requirements of your surgeon and insurance so you are not stalled by unnecessary gatekeeping.
What if my surgery needs two letters?
Genital surgeries often do. I provide one and help coordinate the second if required.
Will insurance accept this letter?
Yes. My letters include the diagnostic codes and wording insurers require. My approval rate is over 98 percent on the first submission. Idaho clients often use Blue Cross or Regence BlueShield of Idaho, and these insurers sometimes reject letters if the language is incomplete. My letters are written to meet their policies so appeals are rare, and if needed, I handle them at no extra charge. Please note: I cannot provide superbills for reimbursement in Idaho because I am not considered an out-of-network provider under Idaho regulations.
Is telehealth valid?
Yes. Surgeons and insurers treat telehealth letters the same as in person. In Idaho this is especially important because many clients live far from affirming providers. Whether you are in Boise or a rural county, your virtual letter carries the same weight as one written face to face.
A Note From Troy:
I’m Troy Johnson, LCSW, and I built Queer Talk Therapy because I know how many doors get slammed in your face when you’re trans and asking for something as basic as a letter. Too many clients come to me after months of hearing “no” from doctors and therapists who should have said yes. That’s gatekeeping disguised as care, and I refuse to play that game.
For nearly a decade I’ve written letters that cleared the way for surgeries, advocated with insurers, and taught other clinicians how to stop dragging their feet with trans clients. My promise is simple: one session, a letter that works, and a process that feels like advocacy and celebration, not interrogation.
This work isn’t just paperwork for me. It’s about dignity, access, and moving you closer to the body and life you already know is yours. If you’re ready, I’m ready. Let’s get you your letter.
