Investing.com -- The Trump administration is considering cutting off funds to hospitals that provide gender-related treatments for children and teenagers, potentially increasing federal scrutiny of such programs, according to the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
This potential action follows a 30-day deadline that passed Saturday for nine children’s hospitals to respond to letters from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Mehmet Oz, also known as Dr. Oz, the report said.
The former heart surgeon and television personality requested data about sex-reassignment surgeries, hormone therapy, and puberty blockers.
"President Trump has been clear: America will protect kids from life-altering and experimental procedures," Oz stated.
"CMS has warned hospitals and state Medicaid programs about these dangers—and is taking regulatory enforcement actions."
According to a Department of Health and Human Services official, three hospitals located in Boston, Los Angeles, and Seattle informed CMS they would respond to the investigation, but none have submitted data yet.
Two additional hospitals in Colorado and Ohio told The Wall Street Journal they plan to respond to the probe.
