The wrongful dismissal suit filed by two former CoxHealth employees is set to go to trial 9 a.m. Jan. 12, 2009, at the U. S. District Courthouse in Springfield, according to an amended scheduling order filed today in federal court.
The case was put back on the schedule folloing a ruling by Judge Gary Fenner that discovery could resume in the case as of July 11. The court had put a halt to discovery proceedings because of concerns by Cox officials that what they say could hurt them in an ongoing federal grand jury investigation.
Roger Cochran and Dennis Morris claim they were fired from their positions at Cox because they had uncovered fraud in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
The lawsuit and the grand jury investigation were first revealed in the June 8, 2005, Turner Report.
