Detroit Area Hospitals Sue To Recover Medicaid Funds
Date:12/8/2008

DETROIT, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- In a lawsuit arising out of the demise of the Detroit-based OmniCare, a once large health maintenance organization servicing primarily Medicaid recipients, several major Detroit area hospitals filed an emergency motion this morning in Wayne County Circuit Court against United American Healthcare Corporation, the former manager of the failed HMO.

The hospitals, which are pursuing damages in the tens of millions of dollars for United's mismanagement of OmniCare, claim that United has insufficient funds to pay claims of OmniCare creditors who were not paid for providing care to Medicaid patients. The emergency motion argues that, under Michigan law, corporations are prohibited from buying back outstanding shares of stock in order to avoid paying creditors.

In the suit, the hospitals allege that a management agreement between OmniCare and United American Healthcare was breached as a result of United American Healthcare's mismanagement of OmniCare. In the late 1990's, the State of Michigan filed a petition against OmniCare, putting OmniCare into supervision, then rehabilitation, and, when it was determined that OmniCare could not be salvaged, then into liquidation.
