1 week ago | reporter.net | Carson Gerber

FORT WAYNE — When Tom Frost received his medical bill from Parkview Health in 2013 following a severe motorcycle crash that had left him in a coma, the uninsured father of two couldn’t believe the charge.

When Tom Frost received his medical bill from Parkview Health in 2013 following a severe motorcycle crash that had left him in a coma, the uninsured father of two couldn’t believe the charge. The Fort Wayne nonprofit hospital wanted nearly $630,000. An auditor hired by the family’s attorney eventually concluded, based on federal billing guidelines, the “fair and reasonable value” of the services Frost received actually amounted to just under $256,000, according to court records.

LONDON — Tracy Schumann watched on Wednesday as a cardinal fluttered and landed in the yard outside his home.

LONDON — Cleanup crews on Wednesday continued to dig out from the tornado that killed 19 and left a wake of destruction Friday night through parts of London and Laurel County.

Catastrophic. Mind blowing. Betrayed. That’s how county health department administrators across Indiana described a massive cut this year to a historic infusion of public-health funding that many viewed as a critical first step to combat Indiana’s pressing health issues. Indiana lawmakers in 2023 approved the Health First Indiana initiative and provided an unprecedented total of $225 million to be doled out over two years to county health departments.
