Planned Parenthood accused of possible fraud over sex-change ‘care’
Doctors are sounding the alarm in recent months about clinics misleadingly using the diagnosis to secure Medicaid or insurance coverage for transgender treatments. Alleged false billing codes, including endocrine disorder, have sparked legal action from Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against sex-change doctors and health institutions in his state since whistleblowers came forward in 2023. The endocrine coding guidance has been live on the southeastern facility’s website since at least February 2023 and on the western location’s site since January 2021, archived webpages show.
