Item 8.01 Other Events

Biohealth Medical Laboratory, Inc. and PB Laboratories, LLC (the “Companies”), subsidiaries of Rennova Health, Inc. (“Rennova”), filed suit against CIGNA Health in 2015 alleging that CIGNA failed to pay claims for laboratory services the Companies provided to patients pursuant to CIGNA-issued and CIGNA-administered plans. In 2016, the U.S. District Court dismissed part of the Companies’ claims for lack of standing. The Companies appealed that decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which in late 2017 reversed the District Court’s decision and found that the Companies have standing to raise claims arising out of traditional insurance plans, as well as self-funded plans. In July 2019, the Companies and EPIC Reference Labs, Inc. (“Epic”), another subsidiary of Rennova, filed suit against CIGNA Health for failure to pay claims for laboratory services provided. Cigna Health, in turn, sued for alleged improper billing practices. Because the Company did not have the financial resources to see the legal action to conclusion it assigned the benefit, if any, from the suit to Chris Diamantis, a former member of Rennova’s Board of Directors, for his financial support to the Company and assumption of all costs to carry the case to conclusion.

On November 4, 2024, a jury in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut awarded no amounts to the Companies and EPIC in connection with the lawsuit and an aggregate of $7.3 million to Cigna Health in connection with the lawsuit brought by Cigna Health against the Companies and EPIC. The Companies and EPIC are currently considering their options which may include motions to the court, appeals and/or other legal remedies available to them. The Companies and EPIC are non-operating subsidiaries of Rennova. Management believes the likelihood of collection of such verdict is remote and, therefore, the verdict is likely not material to the current and future operations or financial condition of Rennova, but there can be no assurances that the verdict, or a portion thereof, will not be paid at some point. Any payments could be materially adverse to the financial condition of Rennova.
