CarePoint Health Systems Inc. and its affiliates have filed a motion in Delaware bankruptcy court seeking to establish deadlines for creditors to file claims in their Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The healthcare provider, operating under case number 24-12534 (JKS), is requesting the court set March 14, 2025, as the general bar date for most creditors and May 2, 2025, for governmental units.
In an effort to balance cost efficiency with adequate notice, CarePoint has proposed alternative notification methods for its patient population. Rather than mailing individual notices to over 100,000 former patients - which would cost approximately $300,000 - the company plans to publish notices in local newspapers including the Bergen Record and Newark Star-Ledger, as well as online platforms HudPost.com and HudsonCountyView.com.
The healthcare system, which filed for bankruptcy on November 3, 2024, operates multiple facilities in New Jersey. The case involves 21 affiliated entities, including various medical centers and healthcare management companies.
For rejected contracts and amended schedules, the proposal includes separate deadlines that would be set at 21 days after relevant court orders or schedule amendments.
