According to the lgbtqia center, SHIP covers hormones and surgery but they don’t specify much on the page (I’ve heard they will cover 90% for top surgery). The contact listed is Jezzie Zimbardo: jzimbardo@ucdavis.edu chair of CTTC (Consultation Team for Transgender Care, run by Counseling And Psychological Services in conjunction with UCD medical providers).
