So now, Toledo-based health care company ProMedica is going to the courts.
ProMedica, which owns Medicaid managed-care organization Paramount Advantage, announced Tuesday that it is has sued the Ohio Department of Medicaid. It's seeking injunctive relief to halt the ongoing overhaul of the state's Medicaid system and invalidate recently awarded contracts.
"Paramount brings this lawsuit to ensure the integrity of Ohio’s... selection process is fair, free, and open, as required by law, and to invalidate the fundamentally flawed black-box process that Defendants improperly conducted, without any authority to do so and without implementing the necessary safeguards against... biases toward Paramount," the complaint filing read.
