Foreskins for Keeps in Texas!!

[Guest guest]

Good news! Texas has stopped paying for male genital mutilation on

Medicaid. Please let others know about this

big breakthrough. Gloria Lemay, Vancouver BC

We have confirmation of this. Texas stopped

paying for CPT code 54150 circumcisions sometime last year. 54150

denotes neonatal circumcision performed with a clamp. This is the

common type of circumcision.

Furthermore, it appears that 48 percent of

births in Texas are funded by Medicaid. So 48 percent of boys will not

be covered by circumcision.

There are about 194,000 boys born annually

in Texas.

That means that 93,000 boys will not be

covered for circumcision.

This is huge because Texas is huge.

This could mean a drop of 50,000

circumcisions per year.

This could drop Amerca's circumcision rate

by 3 percent.
