BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A Maryland-based company whose nearly $200 million Medicaid contract was canceled amid an ongoing federal investigation sued Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration Monday for terminating the deal.
Client Network Services Inc., known as CNSI, filed the lawsuit in state district court in Baton Rouge, claiming the contract with the Department of Health and Hospitals was improperly canceled.
"DHH and the administration continue to lob vague accusations against CNSI without producing one shred of evidence that termination of the contract is justified under the contract," said Kathryn Harris, general counsel for the company, in a statement.
CNSI is seeking compensation for all work done, reimbursement for its costs, loss of anticipated profits and unspecified financial damages for harm to its reputation.
