Texas Children’s Hospital has reportedly closed its pediatric sex change clinic, a source on the ground told City Journal’s Christopher Rufo. This comes after a spokesman for Attorney General Ken Paxton confirmed that alleged Medicaid fraud at Texas Children’s Hospital is "currently being investigated by the Texas Attorney General." 

A Tuesday report from Rufo featured a whistleblower, nurse Vanessa Sivadge, who revealed how doctors at the facility were continuing to provide sex changes to minors despite previous claims from Texas Children’s CEO Mark Wallace that the clinic would be shut down. 

Sivadge claimed that despite Texas law forbidding hospitals from billing Medicaid for transgender procedures, doctors were billing the state Medicaid program. Sivadge noted that many minor patients were enrolled in Texas Children’s Health Plan STAR, a "no-cost Medicaid managed care plan." 

"The largest children’s hospital in the country is illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures," she said. "It is evident that the hospital continues to believe it is above the law not just by concealing the existence of their transgender medicine program from the public, but by stealing from the federal government." 

The closure and investigation come as a Texas doctor, Eithan Haim, faces up to 10 years in prison for speaking out against child sex changes at the Texas Children’s Hospital. Haim is accused of "obtaining protected individual health information for patients that were not under his care and without authorization" by the Department of Justice.
