UPDATED JOINT MANAGEMENT REPORT
Pursuant to the Court’s Minute Order dated April 18, 2017, the parties in the aboveconsolidated
cases respectfully submit this updated Joint Management Report. The criminal
investigation remains ongoing, but the United States, Defendant Health Management
Associates, Inc. (HMA) and the respective States have agreed on a framework for a possible
global resolution. The parties therefore request that this case be stayed for an additional
period, from August 28, 2017, up to and until December 18, 2017, and the parties will report
back to the Court on or before December 4, 2017.
Over the past months, the Criminal Division has continued its investigation. The
Criminal Division and HMA are meeting at the end of August to discuss a proposed global
resolution. The Civil Division has obtained authority from the client agencies and the
Department of Justice for its portion of a proposed global resolution with HMA. The United
States and the States have continued to work with Emergency Medical Services Corporation
(EMSC) and related entities to finalize settlement papers to resolve related claims pending in
two cases. Relator in one of those cases has also resolved personal claims against EMSC.
Counsel for the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services
and EMSC expect to finalize related documentation shortly. The United States also has had

additional discussions with Physicians Alliance Ltd., and believes that those negotiations are
also close to completion.

In sum, settlement discussions continue to be productive. The
parties continue to believe that there is a realistic possibility of reaching a global resolution
which would include settling the underlying cases.
In light of the ongoing criminal investigation and settlement discussions, the parties
request a further stay of the litigation. This MDL involves a complex and diverse set of health
care fraud claims, and presents numerous factual, legal, and logistical challenges. Accordingly,
the parties believe that an additional stay, up to and until December 18, 2017, is necessary to
meaningfully explore settlement. The parties’ proposed Order calls for the parties to submit an
updated Joint Management Report on December 4, 2017, and the parties are most willing to
report to the Court prior to that date upon request.
