Overview
- The June 11 subpoena seeks names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, addresses, doctors’ notes, billing files, and emails, voicemails, and encrypted messages related to care for minors.
- Requests cover records back to Jan. 1, 2020, including documentation of diagnoses, clinical indications, informed consent, intake procedures, insurance codes, personnel files, and contacts with drug manufacturers.
- Justice Department officials say they have issued more than 20 subpoenas to providers as part of investigations into healthcare fraud and false statements, though no criminal charges have been announced.
- Hospitals across the country have curtailed or ended youth gender-affirming services, including in states where such care is legal, with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles closing its clinic in July.
- The subpoena became public through court filings in state-led challenges to the administration’s directives, alongside related federal pressure such as CMS data demands to nine hospitals and an FBI tipline request.
