Cleveland Clinic settles with DOJ in gender-affirming care investigation
The clinic will pay $308,000 and devote $2 million to detransition care as part of a DOJ settlement over alleged false billing.
- On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation agreed to stop providing gender-affirming care for minors for two decades, settling Department of Justice allegations with a $2.3 million payment.
- This resolution follows an ongoing Department of Justice investigation targeting healthcare for transgender youth, mirroring a $10 million settlement reached last month with Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.
- The settlement allocates $2 million for restorative care for "detransitioners" and $308,000 to resolve false billing allegations, while ending procedures like puberty blockers and hormone treatments for minors.
- Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate praised the clinic's decision to "be part of the solution," while TransOhio executive director Dara Adkisson criticized the move for prioritizing compliance over medical integrity.
- As the Ohio Supreme Court considers the law's constitutionality, major medical associations like the American Medical Association oppose such bans, citing patient health benefits while Ohio law currently prohibits care.
