<p>Doctors at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas Children’s Hospital</a> may have engaged in medical fraud as they provided puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children, new testimony from a whistleblower indicates.</p>
<p>Two doctors at the Houston-based hospital allegedly billed Medicaid in <a href="https://www.tmhp.com/sites/default/files/file-library/resources/provider-manuals/tmppm/archives/2021-02-TMPPM.pdf">violation of Texas state law</a> as they provided medical interventions that sought to change the sex of their patients, the <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-murky-business-of-transgender-medicine">report</a> from conservative journalist and activist Chris Rufo reveals.</p>
<p>Vanessa Sivadge, a nurse at the hospital, alleged that Texas Children&#8217;s Hospital “is illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures” with the help of two doctors: pediatric endocrinologist Richard Ogden Roberts III and Dr. David Paul.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">This is Dr. Richard Ogden Roberts. According to Sivadge, Roberts has managed a large number of pediatric sex-change patients. For example, he prescribed sex-change hormones to a biological female who identified as &#8220;non-binary&#8221; and whose records claimed that she was a &#8220;male.&#8221; The… <a href="https://t.co/iiFsqZqe10">pic.twitter.com/iiFsqZqe10</a></p>

<p>Sivadge points to specific instances in which she believes the doctors violated the law, explaining that Roberts approved a testosterone prescription for one 16-year-old patient suffering from gender dysphoria. The patient was enrolled in Texas Children’s Health Plan STAR, which is <a href="https://texaschildrenshealthplan.org/benefits/star-medicaid">described</a> as a “no-cost Medicaid managed care plan.” Roberts, who Sivadge says encouraged young children to attempt to transition into the opposite sex, was previously at the <a href="https://lambdalegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Exh.-8-Affidavit-of-Richard-Ogden-Roberts-III-MD.pdf">forefront of a lawsuit</a> that attempted to prevent Texas from being able to ban child sex-change operations. Roberts even admitted in his affidavit that he had several patients at the transgender clinic &#8220;who receive their health coverage through Medicaid.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another patient, who Sivadge says was enrolled in the same health care plan, visited Paul and prescribed cross-sex hormones. Paul also discussed the possibility of breast implants with the patient, the report notes.</p>

<p>“It is evident that the hospital continues to believe it is above the law not just by <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/sex-change-procedures-at-texas-childrens-hospital">concealing</a> the existence of their transgender medicine program from the public, but by stealing from the federal government,” Sivadge contended. One legal expert agreed that the hospital had acted in violation of the law. “The only reasonable conclusion is that Texas Children’s Hospital was using Texas Medicaid funds to pay for ‘gender-affirming care,’ contrary to Texas law.”</p>
<p>The allegations of medical fraud come amid an ongoing scandal at the Texas Children’s Hospital over its child transgender clinic. One doctor named Ethan Haim previously blew the whistle and <a href="https://www.city-journal.org/article/sex-change-procedures-at-texas-childrens-hospital">exposed</a> that the hospital had continued to perform child sex-change interventions despite telling the public that it had halted the procedures. Haim was then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-doctor-blew-the-whistle-on-his-hospitals-transgender-clinic-now-the-feds-are-trying-to-ruin-his-life">visited by the FBI</a> and has just been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-indicts-whistleblower-who-exposed-child-sex-change-surgeries-at-texas-childrens-hospital">indicted on four felony charges</a> for his role in exposing the clinic.</p>
