Planned Parenthood will have to face a trial that could force it to shell out up to $1.8 billion as part of a lawsuit accusing the organization of overbilling Medicare programs in two states, according to a recent district court ruling.

The lawsuit concerns “thousands” of Medicare claims that Planned Parenthood billed to the states of Texas and Louisiana even after the states terminated the organization as a provider under its Medicare insurance programs. Both Planned Parenthood and Texas asked the judge to rule in their favor. However, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk declined to do so. On Monday, he scheduled a trial set to start in April. 16, 2024.
