A lawsuit, Jones v. T D P K L L C et al (3:24-cv-01335), is currently active in the Louisiana Western District Court. According to court documents, summonses were issued on September 30, 2024, for defendants including Freedom Behavioral Hospital of Bastrop L L C, Freedom Healthcare L L C, and Rocknjay Investments L L C. An amended complaint in the case was filed on January 13. While Freedom Behavioral Hospital of Monroe is not explicitly named as a defendant in the available snippet, the inclusion of other entities under the "Freedom Behavioral" name and the scheduling of a jury trial for December 15, 2025, in Monroe, Louisiana, suggest a connection to the broader Freedom Behavioral organization that includes the Monroe hospital. The specific details of the allegations in this lawsuit are not provided, and there is no explicit mention of carriers or payers being involved in this particular dispute. [5]

Allegiance Health Center of Ruston, LLC, doing business as Freedom Behavioral Hospital of Monroe, is listed as a plaintiff in a class action lawsuit filed on February 26, 2024, against AbbVie, Inc. and other defendants. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, is related to alleged misconduct concerning opioids. The complaint mentions that the marketing activities by some defendants included helping patients navigate the insurance and insurance appeals process to cover opioids, as well as working with doctors on these issues. This indicates Freedom Behavioral Hospital of Monroe's involvement as a plaintiff in litigation that touches upon the intersection of pharmaceutical marketing practices and the insurance landscape, although the primary defendants are pharmaceutical companies and distributors, not directly insurance carriers or payers in a reimbursement dispute context. Freedom Behavioral Hospital of Monroe is identified as a Louisiana limited liability company operating in Monroe, Louisiana, with its principal office in Bossier City, Louisiana. The lawsuit broadly alleges deceptive schemes to increase opioid prescriptions, and the mention of insurance navigation highlights a facet of the marketing strategies being challenged.
