Christ Hospital and the Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati will pay about $110 Million in a federal whistleblower lawsuit settlement.  While this amount has not been formally announced, it is contained in a memorandum to the Trustees at the University of Cincinnati discussing the settlement terms.  UC will now be the only owner of the alliance.

Harry Fry, a retired cardiologist, sued the hospitals in 2003 and alleged that Christ Hospital assigned doctors to the lucrative Heart Station as a reward for generating the most money for the hospital, and induced doctors to assign cardiac patients to the Station.  As the whistleblower, Fry will receive millions of dollars from the settlement.
