North Star Health Alliance ends partnership with Wintergreen amid bankruptcy push
North Star Health Alliance and consulting firm Wintergreen mutually ended their contract, with Wintergreen to provide transition support for 30 days as NSHA navigates Chapter 11, seeks state funding to avoid cuts, and reorganizes. Interim CEO Andrew Manzer praised Wintergreen, while public scrutiny over Wintergreen's $450/hour top-rate noted, though it was among the cheaper bids compared with rivals at up to $810/hour.
