Jackson Hospital announced a lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama Tuesday over alleged withholding of crucial funds as the hospital continues fighting to remain operational. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Alabama, accuses Blue Cross Blue Shield of withholding nearly $1.4 million in funds following the hospital's chapter 11 bankruptcy filing last February. According to the lawsuit, after the hospital began chapter 11 proceedings, federal bankruptcy law enacted an 'automatic stay,' a legal injunction that generally prevents creditors from independently seizing funds without the approval of bankruptcy court. The lawsuit alleges that Blue Cross Blue Shield took the funds without court authorization despite being aware of the bankruptcy filing.
