Financial problems apparently continue for Allegiance Health Management-owned Minden Medical Center with another pair of court filings, including one for reportedly failing to pay federal withholding taxes.

A lawsuit was filed Thursday, April 23 in the Webster Parish Clerk of Court’s office against PHC-Minden (Minden Medical Center) by Sleep Specialists No. 3, LLC, a Jefferson Parish-based company.

Records show the suit seeks $132,575.68 (plus judicial interest, court costs, attorney fees) for unpaid invoices from April, 2025 through December, 2025.

According to the suit, final demand for payment was made on March 26, 2026 and the outstanding balance remains unpaid.

Sleep Specialists operated the sleep disorder diagnostic clinic until Dec., 2025. Contract called for $635 per sleep study performed at their Minden clinic and $150 per study performed at patient’s home.

Also, MMC is the subject of a federal tax lien (No. 60-368733)  filed April 7 for unpaid taxes for period ending Sept. 30, 2025 totaling $1,484,855.60.

Filings show failure to pay IRS form 941, the employer’s quarterly federal tax returns to report federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes withheld from employee paychecks, along with the employer’s share of FICA taxes.

Included in the total owed is $197,400 for federal tax 6721, failure to file correct information returns.

Federal tax 6721 is an IRS civil penalty imposed on businesses and individuals for failing to file accurate information returns (e.g., Forms W-2, 1099, 940, 941) by the deadline, or for submitting incomplete/incorrect information.
