In December of 2011, Medicare terminated it’s contract 
with the firm. The company was based in Tampa, Florida. Medicare found at this time that they had insufficient funds to assure payment of claims and losses. The plan has 10,000 members and they all returned to the original Medicare plan.
Humana picked up the prescription plan with Florida Wal-Mart Preferred which they run and administrate and this action with criminal charges is a result of what happened at the end of last year. The charges state that the two executives used false or misleading statements and concealed a $5 million dollar asset on a loan from Herald National Bank in New York. The company was liquidated by the courts in December. This is interesting to see the involvement of the bank here as well and how did they get that loan could be a good question. BD
