What happened
NYU Langone Health agreed to pay $8.5 million to the US Department of Justice and stop providing gender-affirming medical and surgical treatments to patients under 19. This resolution followed a federal investigation initiated by President Donald Trump. The Department of Justice alleged that providers may have used "fraudulent billing practices" to obtain payment from federal health care programs and private insurers.
