A federal tax lien claiming more than $2.4 million in unpaid payroll taxes is owed by Minden Medical Center has been filed in Bossier Parish.

Records show the lien, totaling $2,405,364.25 for the tax period ending June 30, 2025, was filed in the Bossier Parish Clerk of Court’s Office on March 16 against CLHG-Minden, LLC.

CLHG-Minden reportedly represents the corporate structure of Minden Medical Center.

Filing documents show an unpaid balance of federal tax assessments began as early as the tax period ending Sept. 30, 2020, about two years after Allegiance Health Management purchased Minden Medical Center. 

Records in the Bossier Parish filing show that over the years, unpaid tax balances at MMC have run as high as $3,574,477. That amount was recorded on Dec. 31, 2023.

Allegiance Health Management, a Rock Bordelon-owned, Bossier City-based corporation, operates 11 hospitals in the state. Many reportedly have been the subjects of a number of liens, many relating to unpaid payroll taxes.

Allegiance purchased MMC from LifePoint Health on August 1, 2018 as part of a three hospital acquisition. The selling price was not publicly disclosed.

Others purchased at the time were Mercy Regional Medical Center (Ville Platte) and Acadian Medical Center (Eunice). Both hospitals have also been the subject of federal tax liens.
