# Trump refers over 200 hospitals to DOJ over trans health codes 2026-08-13T23:14:25+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Trump administration has referred over 200 hospitals and clinics, including Boston Children's Hospital and Cigna's Accredo Health Group, to the Justice Department and the HHS inspector general for possible violations of federal statutes related to pediatric gender-affirming care, LiveMint reports. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited a report identifying 'potentially anomalous billing patterns' over ten years, questioning whether providers used billing codes for other conditions to mask gender-dysphoria treatments for minors. Vice President JD Vance urged the DOJ to examine if the providers violated the False Claims Act or other fraud laws. The move is part of a broader administration push to define 'biological sex' and restrict Medicaid funding for such care. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: billing fraud, gender-affirming care, hospitals, Medicaid, transgender health, Trump administration Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-refers-over-200-hospitals-to-doj-over-trans-health-codes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
