Fairview Health Services filed a lawsuit against Change Healthcare to recover approximately $7 million in losses incurred due to the February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare [5]. The outage prevented Change Healthcare from processing claims for Fairview's anesthesia services for over six months, leading to an inability to bill patients, a poor patient experience, loss of payment, and increased bad debt [5]. Fairview was also forced to pay workers overtime and incurred expenses with third-party providers to mitigate the impact [5]. The lawsuit, originally filed in Ramsey County District Court and moved to the U.S. District Court in Minnesota, asserts claims including negligence and breach of contract, seeking restitution and damages exceeding $75,000 [5]. UnitedHealth Group, the parent company of Change Healthcare, has stated its intention to vigorously defend against the lawsuit [5].

Fairview Health Services is suing Change Healthcare, contending it is still short $7 million due to billing disruptions following a cyberattack on UnitedHealth Group's Change Healthcare in February 2024 [4]. The lawsuit states that Fairview was unable to process claims for patients' medical care promptly due to the shutdown of Change Healthcare's billing systems [4]. The health system claims billing was particularly hard hit for its anesthesia service [4]. Fairview asserts claims including negligence and breach of contract and seeks restitution and damages exceeding $75,000 [4, 5]. UnitedHealth Group has responded that the lawsuit is baseless and that they intend to defend themselves vigorously [4].
