Prohibition of Medicaid Funding for Conversion Therapy

This new law aims to prohibit the use of federal Medicaid funds for so-called conversion therapy. This means that services intended to change sexual orientation or gender identity will no longer be paid for with public money, which may affect the availability and cost of such practices for citizens using Medicaid.
Key points
The act prohibits Medicaid payments for any practices or treatments seeking to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity.
The definition of conversion therapy includes efforts to change behaviors, gender expressions, or reduce same-gender attractions, if monetary compensation is received.
The act does not include assistance for individuals undergoing gender transition or therapies providing acceptance and support that do not seek to change orientation or identity.
