Taxpayer dollars should never fund transgender procedures on minors. This settlement sends a clear message: children's health and safety comes first. This is a win for Ohio kids and the families fighting to protect them.
The Cleveland Clinic settled with the State of Ohio and USDOJ Friday after an investigation revealed they mis-coded Medicaid billing to disguise transgender procedures on minors.
They agreed to halt of procedures for 20 years, and funding $2 million and transitioning care.
