The hospital will fund free services for five years and pay $10 million after a state investigation into gender-transition billing.
- On Friday, Texas Children's Hospital agreed to develop the nation's first detransition clinic and fire five physicians as part of a settlement with Attorney General Ken Paxton, paying $10 million for prior Medicaid billing related to gender-affirming care.
- Paxton's investigation began in 2023 when Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation banning puberty blockers and hormone therapy for minors; the Texas Supreme Court upheld the law in 2024.
- The hospital must amend bylaws to automatically revoke physician privileges and provide free clinic services for five years funded entirely by the hospital, while terminating multiple doctors.
- Texas Children's stated it settled to protect resources from "endless and costly litigation" after three years producing 5 million documents, while Paxton framed the outcome as a "monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement.
