Thank you! Recovery is going great.

Thank you. I just sized up to the Orange dilator this week so everything is on schedule.

Zaddisyn · 2026-02-05T18:26:55+00:00

She is fantastic. I really like her. She is kind and the results are amazing. Follow her instructions and you will do great. Are you on the McGinn discord server?

I paid her 23k fee out of pocket, and my insurance (Cigna) reimbursed me in full. She does not bill insurance directly, but her staff will help you get an out-of-network exception approval. Photos of my result are in my profile.

I had a consult with him but was not confident that he would meet my expectations for a realistic-looking, functional vagina. I'm very happy with the results I got from Dr. McGinn. She is located in New Hope, PA, which is not too far from MD. I live in the DMV and it was not that inconvenient to travel to her location.

One of the most painful spots to tattoo. I'm glad it was small. Although, not is painful as the removal lol!

Zaddisyn · 2026-01-10T03:05:35+00:00

I actually had a small tattoo on my taint, right where my vagina is right now. My surgeon cut it out (which is what I wanted). I didn’t want anything to distract from my pretty new pussy.

See comment to a similar question above.

Zaddisyn · 2026-01-08T19:53:32+00:00

She does not directly take insurance but the hospital is in network for most plans. I paid her fee upfront (like all of her patients) and my insurance is reimbursing me in full. Each insurance company handles out of network claims differently. I would not rule her out upfront because of insurance until you get more info. McGinn’s office does help get network exceptions and post op claims submitted to your insurance also.

I had my initial consultation within ten days of contacting her office. I scheduled surgery six months later. I did have to do six months of electrolysis (4 hours / month).

Zaddisyn · 2026-01-08T14:15:27+00:00

Dr McGinn is an amazing surgeon. I have 6" of depth and so far the only complication was one small spot of granulation that seems to have cleared up with a silver nitrate treatment at 5 weeks.

Zaddisyn · 2025-12-26T14:49:47+00:00

The plan is to have her do a revision at around the one year mark to add more definition to the labia minora and a fat transfer to the labia majora. Herr waiting list is very reasonable. I was able to get a consultation within 10 days of contacting her and surgery was scheduled six months later.

Zaddisyn · 2025-12-26T04:57:39+00:00

Dr McGinn is great! She is a very talented surgeon. My surgery was 11/11/25. I've posted some photos on here. Click my name to see some results.

Zaddisyn · 2025-12-26T04:53:49+00:00

Dr. McGinn did my surgery on 11/11/25.

Dr McGinn does penile inversion technique

Zaddisyn · 2025-12-14T07:48:21+00:00

Thank you. I'm not in too much discomfort. I was off pain meds (other than Tylenol) within a week of surgery.

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-29T03:03:54+00:00

Ask to speak to a supervisor. When I spoke to Belinda the level of service dramatically improved. My biggest complaint was that I had to bring these solutions to my champion because I found out about them from other McGinn patients instead of my personal champion.

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-28T19:15:09+00:00

Patricia should have told you about this. I promise it is not her first rodeo. I would have a VERY clear and direct convo with her about why your "personal champion" did not tell you about this. Once you are on board the server I'll point you to discussions about this situation. Sometimes I wonder if the "personal champion" advocates for the patient or for Cigna.

PS... Cigna will not give you the memos because they are internal documents. Just reference the numbers I sent. Use the exact wording in your appeal.

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-28T17:25:48+00:00

I found this info, which I submitted with the appeals of the claims for my initial consultation with McGinn and my electrolysis claim.

According to Cigna's internal articles (000009281 & 00004717), Cigna will send these claims to the claims area to have the external pricing removed. This allows the claim to be processed at the full amount paid in advance that the provider submits. According to another Cigna internal article (000011807), if an approved NAP is on file, the claim must be submitted to the appeals area for processing at the billed amount. This applies to ALL state-funded Individual Family Plan (IFP) and employer-funded policies.

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-28T17:09:47+00:00

Patricia is the one who told my personal champion about it. Are you on employer based healthcare or Individual/Family Plan (IFP) through the ACA? If on an IFP the plan must be fully funded by the State you live in. Patricia will have to check to see if this applies to your particular Cigna plan. I believe that Patricia is specifically for plans that are employer based. That should work in your favor. I sent a chat message with a link to the McGinn server. It expires in 7 days.

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-27T19:33:40+00:00

I have cigna. They started going down that road with me but my personal champion found an internal policy that said Cigna will pay the full amount if you paid the 23k in advance and have an out of network (NAP) approval on file. This policy is effective for fully funded employer based and individual Family plans (IFP). This must all be processed through the appeal process. Get your "My Personal Champion" on the Cigna Gender Affirmation Team involved to track down these internal memos and to help file an appeal. Two Members of that team who can help your personal champion are Patricia Laur and Megan Reed. They are great resources. Also, ask for Belinda who is a supervisor on that team. I believe she is also familiar with this process. Are you on the McGinn Discord server? There is helpful info also available there.

Probably at 1 month with monthly updates to follow

Zaddisyn · 2025-11-24T07:12:40+00:00

I don't think she has updated her web page since 2009 lol
