"The bill would require voluminous new data collection on people receiving gender-affirming care, including detailed information about transition-related care to the Tennessee Department of Health."
"Providers would also have to report the patient's state and county of residence, along with the treating provider's name and contact information."
"While the bill states that the report must not include 'individually identifiable health information,' privacy advocates say the level of detail required could still allow patients to be identified."
"It costs a fortune to detransition, Tennessee state Rep. Jeremy Faison said during an earlier House committee hearing."
Tennessee lawmakers advanced a bill that mandates extensive data collection on individuals receiving gender-affirming care. The legislation requires gender clinics to report detailed patient information, including age, sex, medications, and surgical procedures to the Tennessee Department of Health. This data will be compiled into a public report, although privacy advocates express concerns that the level of detail could lead to patient identification. The bill also includes provisions for insurance coverage of detransition-related care, emphasizing the financial burden of detransitioning.
