The University of Pennsylvania will extend its health insurance coverage beginning in the fall to cover the costs of a gender change for undergraduate students.
The coverage will include unlimited psychological coverage, such as therapy sessions and hormonal treatments. Surgeries, called gender confirmation, up to $50,000 will also be covered. The decision comes after two years of planning and will only increase student health insurance costs by a few cents.
