Company wants medical equipment back from Insight
(WKBN) — A medical equipment company filed an emergency motion to get its equipment returned from Hillside Rehabilitation and Trumbull Regional Medical Hospitals.
In a court filing last week, Phillips Medical Capital LLC is asking U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez to sign an order forcing the hospital to surrender medical equipment owned by Phillips.
The order states that Phillips has provided various medical equipment to the facilities since 2019. The company claims the items are still accruing costs and that they cannot be sold or relocated to other facilities without this order.
The order comes after the Insight facilities closed their doors in March. A class-action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against Insight Foundation after local hospitals closed and employees say they were left without paychecks. Employees are asking for 60 days' pay and ERISA benefits, as well as the repayment of money deducted from wages for fringe benefits and compensation for accrued but unpaid vacation time.
The motion will be decided during a hearing on May 1.
Post Road Equipment Finance filed a similar motion last week after counsel for the company could no longer meet at the Trumbull Facility due to an emergency. A hearing is scheduled for April 30 on this motion.
