The employees range from clinicians to administrators, and the CEO has not been paid in almost a year. The CEO, Jason Leday, has been paying employees out of his own pocket so they can afford gas and food.

According to the report, the hospital is making money, but is not receiving its Medicare claims from the facilitator, Novitas Solutions. The Texas Medical Association has heard similar complaints about the company in the past, according to the report.
