The parties in litigation involving Medicaid providers in Alaska announced a class action settlement that resolves a case pending in federal court in Anchorage. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in South Peninsula Hospital, et al. v. Xerox State Healthcare, LLC (n/k/a Conduent State Healthcare, LLC), No. 3:15-cv-00177-JMK (D. Alaska), and authorized a settlement administrator, Angeion Group, LLC, to begin issuing notice to settlement class members and accepting claims.
This lawsuit is brought by plaintiff South Peninsula Hospital and alleges that the State of Alaska’s Medicaid Management Information System, known as Health Enterprise, was not properly implemented for rollout on October 1, 2013. The lawsuit alleges that this caused Alaska Medicaid providers to incur economic losses as a result of not having their Medicaid reimbursements processed on a timely basis. This allegation relates to the 2013-2016 time period, when Conduent was owned by a predecessor company. Conduent denies the allegations but agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation costs.

This group of Alaska Medicaid providers constitutes the Settlement Class who are eligible to submit claims for payments under the settlement.
