Perkins Coie attorneys Eric Walker, Brian Audette and David Gold were mentioned in a Law360* article titled "Gov't Must Restart Medicare Payments To True Health: Judge." The article discusses a recent decision by the Delaware bankruptcy judge that ordered the federal government to resume Medicare payments to bankrupt medical testing company True Health Diagnostics LLC, saying the suspension of the payments over fraud allegations violates the company's Chapter 11 stay. Perkins Coie is counsel for True Health Diagnostics LLC.

In a phone interview Thursday, Eric said that under the ruling CMS will have to pay the approximately $2 million in post-petition payments it has withheld so far and pay any new billings, which he said have been about $400,000 a week. "It was a good day for the debtors," he said.
