DOJ subpoenas more than 20 doctors and clinics that provide trans care to minors

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission allege healthcare fraud and medical abuse in gender-affirming treatments for minors, targeting a $4.4 billion industry nationwide.

  • On Wednesday, the Department of Justice issued nearly 20 subpoenas to clinics and doctors providing gender-affirming care to minors, announced by DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle at an FTC event on July 9.
  • Following the Supreme Court's June decision upholding Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care, Attorney General Pam Bondi's April memo authorized investigations into surgeries as female genital mutilation under 18 U.S.C. §116.
  • The DOJ has issued nearly 20 subpoenas to clinics, doctors, drug makers, FBI tips, and CMS inquiries, targeting healthcare fraud, FGM definitions, and drug marketing violations.
  • Some clinics have limited or closed treatments, with hospitals facing 65% funding loss and major pediatric centers halting care.
  • As investigations develop, the DOJ plans to work with state Attorneys General, with gender-affirming surgeries potentially prosecuted under FGM laws carrying up to 10 years in prison.
