Court of Appeals Win
In a significant legal victory, AU Medical Center—represented by Altum’s CEO and healthcare attorney Elizabeth Richards—prevailed in the Georgia Court of Appeals on April 30, 2025. The court upheld the hospital’s right to enforce a lien for treatment provided to a minor, even if the minor was not personally responsible for the medical bill. The decision reinforces hospitals’ ability to recover costs through properly filed liens, setting a critical precedent in Georgia healthcare law.
