Hope this is the right place to post this....
I came across this paper (www.spectrumwny.org/info/costbenefit.pdf) searching the web for info on health benefits and thought I would share it with the group. It talks about the costs for both MTF and FTM. Some interesting info but 26 pages long.
Here is the ABSTRACT:
This paper measures the frequency and cost of Transgender Health Benefits (THBs) for US residents. It reports on a survey of surgeons who do Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) procedures, and reports the number of US residents undergoing SRS in the year 2001. The survey measured the average cost for MTF SRS and for FTM primary surgery (top surgery) in 2001. This cost is compared to the number of insured US residents in the 2000 US Census. Nonsurgical costs are calculated empirically, with margins of error. Total THB cost, and cost per insured, are estimated. Prevalence of SRS among US residents is calculated.
