It has been more than a year since Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) notified 174 transgender patients that their medical information had been provided to Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti in response to a probe into possible fraudulent billing practices. Three patients are suing the hospital. One is seeking class action status for patients who had records disclosed. VUMC argues that plaintiff lacks an adequate class representative. The other two patients are seeking class action status for those who were misinformed about having records disclosed. VUMC argues they lack standing. The Nashville Banner has more on the cases.
