- A former Centene executive is suing the company over what he called “wrongful, anti-competitive, and bullying behavior” related to a noncompete agreement.
- A jury ruled in favor of San Antonio-based Neurosurgery and Spine Consultants in a noncompete case, but Methodist Healthcare and an affiliate plan to appeal the $24 million verdict.
- Fort Wayne (Ind.) Orthopedics LLC is suing an orthopedic surgeon alleging he provided care at a competing group after he resigned.
