TAKE ACTION: The DOJ has the list, and 6 Ohio clinics are on it
The DOJ and HHS just opened federal fraud reviews into nearly 200 clinics nationwide after uncovering $50,000,000 in false billing codes used to push "gender medicine" on kids. This follows last week’s publication of the Wolves in White Coats report commissioned by the US Department of Health and Human Services and co-authored by Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) President Aaron Baer.
This Administration will not stand idly by while some in the medical community harm our children in search of profit. That is why today I am referring this matter to the Department of Justice to launch a federal criminal investigation. We will stop this fraud and restore trust in… pic.twitter.com/FCAsl4wpY4

Six of those facilities implicated in the report are here in Ohio, including four children's hospitals and two Planned Parenthoods.
While federal law enforcement is stepping in, Washington cannot enforce Ohio state law. Federal agencies cannot issue state subpoenas to hold local providers accountable under Ohio law, including the SAFE Act.
Only Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson can do that.
It takes less than 30 seconds to send your pre-written letter urging AG Wilson to open an immediate state investigation into Planned Parenthood and our pediatric hospitals.
TAKE ACTION: A Call for Immediate Accountability
It was always about the money, not the medicine. The federal government has exposed the paper trail, but we need state law enforcement to deliver justice for Ohio children.
Don't let these multi-billion-dollar medical networks off the hook.
The Details of Ohio's Potential Fraud & Criminal Activity
The federal report included the following information:
Cleveland Clinic Fraud Settlement: The Department of Justice reached a landmark settlement with the Cleveland Clinic over allegations of false billings submitted to Medicaid and private insurers for sex-rejecting procedures on minors. As part of the resolution, the hospital committed $2 million toward restorative care for detransitioners.
Questionable Billing at Ohio Children's Hospitals: Analysis reveals that 1) Akron Children’s Hospital, 2) Dayton Children’s Hospital, 3) Dayton Children’s Hospital - South Campus, and 4) Nationwide Children’s Hospital all billed for puberty-blocking drugs given to children aged 9 to 17, using vague, non-specific hormone disorder codes. The bills did not list either of the two conditions that usually explain this treatment in children: a gender-related diagnosis, or puberty starting unusually early.
Potential Criminal Activity at Planned Parenthood: The report also shows prescribers affiliated with Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region and Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio wrote cross-sex hormone prescriptions to minors on the exact same day they were diagnosed with "gender dysphoria," a practice that is illegal under Ohio’s SAFE Act.
