CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - According to the University of Virginia Health System, around 60% percent of people in Charlottesville and Albemarle County eligible for vaccination have gotten their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and about 40% are fully vaccinated.
“We’re increasing the number of people who are protected from this,” Dr. Costi Sifri, the director of hospital epidemiology at UVA Health said. “As we continue to do this I think that we’re gonna continue to see the results, meaning fewer cases of COVID, fewer hospitalizations due to COVID, and fewer deaths.”

On April 19, 2021, the University of Virginia Health System
announcedthat it would be canceling a pool of judgments and liens dating back to the 1990s. The move will apply to all liens and judgments filed against households that make less than 400% of the federal poverty level, or about $106,000 for a family of four.
UVA has been suing patients for unpaid hospital bills for decades. Since Virginia law allows for post-judgment remedies, many of these lawsuits resulted in wage garnishments and liens which attached to real property and had to be satisfied before selling the property. Those families that already paid due to lawsuits or liens will not get their money back.

UVA Health Cancels Patient Lawsuits
The University of Virginia Health System will cancel a "massive backlog" of court judgments and liens against patients for unpaid bills, according to
Kaiser Health News. The lawsuits go back to the 1990s, and tens of thousands of families may benefit. However, most families who have already paid money to UVA because of lawsuits or liens will not be getting their money back.
The move "to wipe out liens that drain home equity years after a hospital visit is extremely rare," scholars of healthcare finance told

UVA Health to wipe out tens of thousands of lawsuits against patients

Julia Rendleman for KHN
KHN reported in 2019 that UVA Health had sued patients 36,000 times over six years for more than $100 million, often for amounts far higher than what an insurer would have paid for their care.
University of Virginia Health System, which for years has sued thousands of patients annually for unpaid bills, said Monday it will cancel a massive backlog of court judgments and liens resulting from those lawsuits dating to the 1990s.
Combined with reforms UVA announced in 2019, the move is likely to benefit tens of thousands of families and make UVA Health's collections policies much more generous than those of many hospital systems, said scholars who study healthcare finance. The decision to wipe out liens that can drain home equity years after a hospital visit is extremely rare, they said.

BRYAN MCKENZIE
The (Charlottesville) Daily Progress
The University of Virginia Health System will release liens and judgments filed against most middle- and lower-income patients and limit patientsâ financial liability for catastrophic medical care as part of new billing policies that focus on a patientâs ability to pay.
Health System officials also will create an ombudsman position to assist patients with disputes and redesign intake and appointment scheduling to inform patients about insurance coverage limits and financial assistance prior to treatment.
Under the new policies announced Monday, the Health System will remove liens and judgments for patients whose earnings are 400% or less of the federal poverty income level of $12,880 for a single person or $26,500 for a family of four.
