US EditionCMS demands data from hospitals providing pediatric transgender care
- On May 29, 2025, the head of the federal agency overseeing Medicare and Medicaid sent a letter to certain hospitals requesting data on pediatric transgender medical treatments and their associated outcomes across the United States.
- The request follows actions from the Trump administration, including an executive order from January 29, 2025, and an HHS report from May 1, 2025, citing insufficient evidence supporting these treatments.
- CMS is investigating adverse events, procedural changes, and financial aspects to assess concerns that these interventions cause irreversible harm to minors and involve taxpayer-funded reimbursements.
- CMS director Mehmet Oz expressed urgent concerns about the use of permanent, risky medical treatments on vulnerable children, noting that these procedures frequently involve public funding, and hospitals have been given a 30-day deadline to respond.
- The inquiry could lead to increased scrutiny and accountability of hospitals providing these interventions, although experts expect legal resistance and incomplete compliance from some institutions.
