KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A lawsuit filed seven years ago over the acquisition of the former Health Midwest hospital chain in the Kansas City area is settled.
The Kansas City Star reports (https://bit.ly/2jR1Y79 ) The Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City said Tuesday it will receive about $160 million from its lawsuit against the Hospital Corporation of America and its affiliate, HM Acquisition LLC.
The lawsuit alleged HCA didn’t meet a capital improvement commitment it made as part of its purchase of the hospital chain. It follows another $15 million settlement in 2015 over whether HCA met its agreements on uncompensated care.
