Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a major health care provider and a pediatric doctor for allegedly providing banned gender transition services and falsely labeling services to get Medicaid reimbursement.
Children’s Health System of Texas and Dr. Jason Jarin are the defendants in the lawsuit, according to a news release posted on Paxton’swebsite.
“I will use every legal tool available to ensure radical gender activists like Jarin face justice for hurting our kids,” Paxton said.
“This criminal extremist not only permanently harmed children, but he also then defrauded Medicaid and stuck Texas taxpayers with the bill for this insanity. Experimental ‘transition’ procedures on minors are illegal, unethical, and will not be tolerated in Texas,” he continued.
Paxton said the scheme to bill Medicaid for banned procedures, which Paxton alleged took place on children as young as 9, dates back to 2017.
He alleged that the scheme continued even after Sept. 1, 2023, when a state law went into effect banning gender transitions for minors.

The release added that “Children’s Health and Jarin likely engaged in false, misleading, and deceptive acts in violation of Texas law. They did this by falsifying or misrepresenting medical records, prescriptions, and billing submissions to pharmacies, insurers, and Medicaid.”
