A newly released database of gender transition applications for children reveals at least 418 patients in Illinois totaling $644,000 in submitted charges since 2019.
The Stop The Harm database from the national group Do Not Harm analyzes billing codes from insurance companies in regards to gender transition and youth. The state-by-state analysis also lists medial providers engaged in such practices by name. Shannon Adcock, with the parents’ rights group Awake Illinois, said what Do Not Harm has provided is crucial for parents.
Adcock said the numbers Do Not Harm provides are a good start, but it not the whole story.
The data for Illinois shows Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago with the highest number of child sex transition patients at 145 with $274,000 in submitted charges.
