Nansemond Nation sues Virginia over Medicaid changes
The Nansemond Indian Nation and its healthcare arm, Fishing Point Healthcare, have filed a federal lawsuit against Virginia, alleging unlawful changes to the state’s Medicaid program that undermine tribal sovereignty. The complaint says the state bypassed federal consultation requirements and withheld reimbursements, disrupting services to both Native and non-Native patients. Virginia officials claim the tribe overbilled Medicaid, a charge the Nation disputes.
