• SVI has reached out to Star Valley Health for comment.

Star Valley Health has filed a lawsuit against Change Healthcare Solutions (CHS) a billing company they have used in the past,  for a sum of $2.5 million according to court documents. 

The health care provider has been working to answer for and overcome a reported $3.5 million shortfall which they had previously attributed to multiple reasons including rising healthcare costs and a billing system. Both of which were part of a statement made by SVH in April prior to a telephone town hall meeting which took place on May 8. 

The lawsuit, filed against CHS, alleges that the company in part has caused millions of dollars in losses.

In that meeting, SVH CEO Dan Ordyna noted problems with increased insurance rates, the Alpine expansion project and an effort in the hospital’s  accounting system.

In the May 14, 2025 edition of the Star Valley Independent, Ordyna stated  “We discovered an error in our accounting system and our electronic medical record system, showing a $3.5 million over statement.

“When you combine these challenges together, we need to assess our growth and cash position,” he advised.

He said all of the challenges will be addressed, “head on.”

In a July interview with SVI Media, Ordyna provided an update on the situation by stating:

“To make sure that there’s accuracy, the $3.5 million was a journal entry for accounting on bad debt,” he explained. “The hospital has been profitable and what it impacted was our cash position. And, so where we hit the brakes was on spending to make sure that we understood where our cash position was and our day’s cash on hand.”

Further details of the SVH position were made in this July 16, 2025 story.
