A lawsuit filed by Agnesian HealthCare claims a faulty software system caused delays in patient billing resulting in millions of dollars in losses for the hospital. The lawsuit was filed last month in federal court against Kansas City-based Cerner, a health care technology company. According to the lawsuit, Cerner’s handling of software that managed billing, scheduling and claims caused massive delays that resulted in up to $16 million in losses. The lawsuit claims the errors created a stressful situation for patients and damaged Agnesian’s reputation in the community. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount in damages.
