The policies at issue covered claimws made against the hospital group from July 2007 througbJune 2008. The dispute stems from a whistle-blowet complaint filed against byHarry Fry, a in 2003. (Christ Hospita was then part of theHealth Alliance.) Fry’s complaint remained under seal, however, and wasn’t servedf on the Health Alliance until April 2008. That’s the way whistle-bloweer lawsuits typically work. Someone files a complaintr alleging wrongdoing, and it isn’t disclosedc until the government has time to look into it and decide whethee topursue prosecution. But they rarely take five yearwsbefore they’re unsealed.
In its May 15 the Health Alliance contends that when the2003 whistle-blower complaint was finally served on it last year, that constitute d a “claim” under its insurance policies. The defendanrt insurance companies aren’t commenting, but they have refused to pay, accordinfg to the Health Alliance.
