Bryan Davis was co-counsel for ten behavioral health agencies in litigation against the State of New Mexico and reached landmark $10,000,000 settlement.
The Firm represented ten behavioral health agencies in litigation against the New Mexico Human Services Department for suspending their Medicaid payments based upon what the State claimed were “credible allegations of fraud” in 2013. The agencies were referred to the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which cleared the providers of wrongdoing, but only after several had gone out of business and many were barely able to continue to provide services. Over the course of five years of litigation, the cases wound their way between state and federal courts, multiple administrative trials, and the New Mexico Court of Appeals. The cases came to an end with a landmark $10,000,000 settlement announced by the Human Services Department on December 4, 2019.
