HHS report finds 225+ hospitals billed puberty blockers using endocrine-disorder codes, under federal investigation
A new HHS report found that more than 225 hospitals billed for puberty blockers given to children using 'endocrine-disorder' diagnosis codes instead of gender-related ones, a practice that appears to have violated CMS coding rules and is now under federal investigation. The report also documented over $16 million in insurance claims from 2015-2025 for gender medicine for minors.
