Allegheny bankruptcy rings up its own costs

Article Abstract:

Companies representing the bankrupt Allegheny health system and its creditors have so far submitted $13 million in bills. Professionals representing 12 companies have requested that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Pittsburgh, PA, approve a total of $13 million in costs and fees so far. Allegheny has a debt of $1.5 billion. The Allegheny case's professional expenses easily surpass the almost $2 million that attorneys and accountants in the liquidation of the Foundation for New Era Philanthropy got for their work. The Allegheny expenses are comparable to those incurred by large corporate bankruptcies around the U.S. in recent years.
