A telehealth service is under investigation by the Justice Department. The company, which provides care to transgender individuals, had been shielded from a subpoena by a lower court. However, this decision was overturned, allowing investigators to access certain records.
These records include patient information and communications with pharmaceutical companies. The investigation is part of a broader effort, with over 20 similar demands made to hospitals and clinics.
