Houston Hospital System Says Insurer Stiffed It, Warns Taxpayers May Get Stuck With Tab

The county-run safety-net system says that shortfall could ultimately leave Harris County taxpayers covering millions of dollars in care. The complaint, filed earlier this year, alleges breach of contract and related claims and seeks more than $1 million in damages. The case is still pending and could ripple through how the county plans for uncompensated care if the disputed bills are not reimbursed.
