Rule finalized
The administration finalizes the funding restriction.
Rule proposed
The Trump administration proposes blocking federal Medicaid and CHIP funds for gender-affirming care for minors.
The finalized rule conditioning federal Medicaid and CHIP dollars on excluding pediatric gender-affirming care creates a novel federal funding restriction that legal experts say has no direct precedent. Attorneys and health policy counsel are already assessing potential Administrative Procedure Act, equal protection, and Medicaid Act challenges.
A finalized federal rule prohibits Medicaid and CHIP from covering gender-affirming care for 130,000 transgender minors living in states where it remains legal. Clinicians, health systems, and Medicaid plans must now manage coverage denials, care disruptions, and mental health risks for an already vulnerable pediatric population.
