Big news. The extent of this is appalling, but not surprising. With WPATH admitting its ideas have no basis the foundations behind the huge gender medical industry in the US is imploding.

HHS Releases Report Exposing Fraudulent Insurance Coding For Sex-rejecting Procedures On Minors

WASHINGTON, D.C. — August 13, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today released a report Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine,” a commissioned report examining insurance coding practices, perverse financial incentives, and the provision of sex-rejecting procedures for minors. Drawing on Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Guidance, Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations, peer-reviewed scientific literature, hospital records, whistleblower testimony, nationwide insurance claims analyses, and interviews with patients and parents, the report presents HHS’ findings and recommendations about the industry pushing and profiting off so-called “gender medicine.” A shortform documentary illustrating the report’s findings and highlighting the stories of victims of predatory gender medical practices was also released in conjunction with the report.According to the report, more than 225 hospitals and health systems established pediatric gender programs nationwide. The report also analyzes nationwide claims data from 2015 through 2025 and identifies approximately $50 million in insurance claims for puberty blockers billed using endocrine disorder diagnostic code E34.9 (Endocrine Disorder, Unspecified). It further reports that nearly $11 million in claims for patients ages 13–17 were billed using a diagnosis code for precocious puberty E301 — findings the report says warrant additional review of insurance coding practices.

This could have global impacts in the fight against this awful practice.

Just trying to lay my hands on my surprised face - it must be around here somewhere…

Thanks for sharing this - they have been warned about this for years - WPATH and the rest of the organisations profiting from this are absolute cowboys.

Big Pharma vs Insurance. Two goliaths battling it out and the children who've been harmed (and continue to be harmed) are just the red shirts.

Reminds me of Godzilla and Kong.

I feel so sad for the young adults in the accompanying video to the report. What was done to them as children is horrifying.

Great analogy. I had not considered the heft of the health insurance industry up against big pharma. It could get messy.

Whistleblowers have spoken about this for years. Thank heavens it is getting some traction now. I hope they bankrupt the lot of them.

I'm surprised its taken this long. My DS has severe Crohn's and Im always shocked on US forums just how much people have to battle with insurance companies for medication which keeps their child alive from an actual clinically observable disease.

In shocked, shocked I tell ya.

All those ruined lives, I just hope the day of reckoning is coming, and the monsters pushing this end up in jail where they belong.

Can any Americans (or people familiar with the American context) say anything about the extent to which this is a genuine, evidence-based, solution-seeking expert report, rather than something tainted with the froth of ideology? It's contents appear completely unsurprising and realistic, but with govt in the US so corrupted by ideology it is hard to trust anything much without scrutiny.

Also, assuming that it is genuinely evidence based and has the welfare of gender-distressed people at heart, what are the chances of people in the US actually hearing it as such, and accepting its results?

I strongly recommend watching the accompanying video; it's only 12 mins long. Those young people are so brave to speak out in order to try to protect future children, and they deserve everyone's attention. I hope that they can find peace, and acceptance that they bear absolutely zero responsibility for the horrors that have been inflicted on them.
