Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) fired a whistleblower for alleging that it was “unlawfully billing the state Medicaid program” for the purposes of child gender modification, and now the Houston-based hospital is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In an announcement posted Monday, HHS stated that along with launching an online tool for reporting whistleblower tips regarding child gender modification, it would also begin an “investigation of a major pediatric teaching hospital for allegedly terminating the employment of a whistleblower nurse for exercising her federally protected rights of conscience.”
