Tribunal Judiciaire de Lille, 21 février 2022, n° RG 21/01638 Judicial Court of Lille, 21 February 2022, No. RG 21/01638 (Insurance Covering Gender Affirmation Surgery)
In March 2021, a young transgender woman submitted a request for reimbursement for her bilateral mastoplasty, prescribed by her GP as part of her gender affirmation, which began in 2016. Although this procedure is listed in the French social security grid and should be reimbursed by the health insurance scheme, the medical officer of the Roubaix-Tourcoing primary health insurance fund issued an unfavorable opinion on 29 March 2021.
