Gender Surgery and HRT Letters
Evaluations for gender affirmation surgery recommendation letters are usually conducted in the Cherry Hill office. If transportation is a problem, Spectrum Center staff also conduct the appointment over a HIPAA-compliant web conference. Most clients only need one 2-hour appointment to complete the evaluation process, although a second appointment is needed in rare cases. Fees for the appointment include the costs for writing and sending the letter to requested medical teams or other important places.
Most medical providers and insurance companies do not require a recommendation letter to access hormone therapy (HRT), although there are still some exceptions. Brief evaluations for HRT letters are conducted in a similar manner to surgery letters.
