The administrator of the Medicare and Medicaid Service Centers (CMS), Dr. Mehmet Oz, told the state directors of Medicaid on Friday that there will be no Medicaid funds for “gender reassignment” surgeries or hormonal treatments for minors.
“As a doctor and now CMS administrator, my highest priority is to protect children and maintain the law. Medicaid dollars should not be used for gender raking surgeries or hormonal treatments in minors, procedures that can cause permanent and irreversible,” by Breitbart News.
“We have the duty to ensure that medical care is legal, necessary and really in the best interest of patients. CMS will not support services that violate this standard or place vulnerable children at risk. It is a response of CMS to the medicine of the elderly and will ensure that medications medicate and guarantee that they occur and guarantee that our dollars occur and guarantee that they occur and guarantee that they occur and ensure that they occur and ensure that they occur and ensure that they will occur that occur and guarantee that they occur and guarantee that they occur and guarantee that they occur and guarantee that they occur.
Oz wrote to the state directors of Medicaid to ensure that the state agencies of Medicaid are “aware of the growing evidence on certain procedures offered to children, and to remind the states of their responsibility to ensure that Medicaid payments are served in the intoality of charity influenced inhaling with the best interest of the recipients.”
The recently confirmed administrator of CMS pointed out that medical interventions to cure gender dysphoria, including puberty blockers, surgery to transform physical appearance, surgeries to eliminate the sexual organs of an individual and sexual storms to align are a hormone to align are a modification of the orignas of algignones. –Have “proliferated.”
The CMS administrator pointed out that there is a shortage of evidence that supports controversial medical procedures to treat gender dysphoria for minors, and pointed out that thesis interventions can “cause long -term and irreparable damage”:
Several developed countries have recently diverged from the US. UU. In the way they deal with gender dysphoria in children. The United Kingdom, Sweden and Finland have recently issued restrictions on medical interventions for children, including the use of puberty blockers and hormonal treatments, and now recommend cases of intervention of exploratory psychotherapy and reserve of treatment and resUpcion and reserve of Texement and Reptment and Relay. In particular, the “Cass review”, an independent review of evidence in the United Kingdom, said that despite the considerable investigation in the field of gender dysphoria in children “, systematic evidence reviews demonstrated studies, which means that the published stored are stored stored.
Given the lack of evidence of the thesis procedures for children, OZ remembered the state directors of Medicaid of the federal medical requirements that prohibits the federal financing of services “whose purpose is to permanently represent an incapable individual or reproduction. Operations for the purpose of representing an individual permanently unable to reproduce and, under 42 CFR 441,253 (A) These procedures in a person under age. “
“Other advanced nations are rethinking the types of interventions thesis, which in the United States can cost up to $ 134000 In accordance with recent research. Like them, we believe that psychotherapy, not drugs that alter life or surgery, should be the first line of treatment. It is not about politics or stigma. It is about protecting people from decisions that may not understand completely, and the consequences cannot undo, “Oz concluded in his statement.
