Transgender patients sue Vanderbilt over release of medical records to Tennessee AG

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is being sued by transgender clinic patients for violating their privacy by releasing records to the Tennessee attorney general.
The AG requested the records as part of a medical billing fraud probe, but patients say Vanderbilt should have removed identifying info first.
Tennessee has enacted anti-LGBTQ measures, making the privacy breach particularly concerning, the lawsuit argues.
The class action lawsuit seeks damages, improved security procedures, and an injunction against further record releases without notice.
Vanderbilt says it was legally required to comply with the attorney general's investigation.
