UPDATE ON Minors: 

Please click here for link to Nebraska LB 574 that goes into effect on October 1, 2023. Check back for updates on care for minors under 19 in Nebraska. *UPDATE* Minors can still be started on gender affirming hormones with a letter from a therapist after completely at least 40 hours of therapy with a neutral therapist. The letter must be received by the provider prior to the appointment. After the initial consult and consent for gender affirming hormones is signed, there is a 7 day waiting period before starting hormone therapy. Minors must continue therapy while on gender affirming hormones to discuss transition and their mental health. These visits must be at the least 1 hour every 3 months.

If you are needing to refer your patient to us for care, please fax the referral to 877-684-6190. 

We only see minors age 14 and up for gender affirming hormones. We are able to see new minors in person at our Omaha, NE location ONLY. Follow-up appointments may be done by telehealth.
