Summary
St. Luke’s Health System is suing Tehum Care Services—formerly Corizon Health—for a second time, alleging a fraudulent bankruptcy scheme designed to dodge billions in unpaid prison healthcare bills. The new suit demands $31 million for costs not covered, following a prior 2018 lawsuit over underpayments. Corizon, Idaho’s longtime prison healthcare provider, lost its contract in 2021 amid nationwide negligence claims. Now, St. Luke’s says Tehum used a “Texas Two-Step” maneuver to shift assets and leave Corizon with crippling debt—essentially setting up a legal shell game to avoid paying those it owed. The case is still unfolding as multiple healthcare systems fight to recover what they believe is rightfully theirs.
