Department lawsuit against the hospital for improperly billing the federal government for false claims. The matter was ultimately settled in 2020 with the hospital agreeing to pay the government $ 50 million. This was not the only controversial aspect; in 2015–2018, the hospital transferred much of its then-windfall to the "Bishop's Fund", a charity created and controlled by
Bransfield. This was considered unusual and possibly improper, as there are strict restrictions on what can be done with revenue at federally-funded non-profits such as hospitals. Around $ 21 million was transferred overall; members of the board said in 2019 they had no recollection of authorizing such at a meeting, leaving it unclear how it happened and why staff went along with Bransfield's request. While most of the money in the Bishop's Fund was spent in West Virginia, some of it appears to have been spent on expensive gifts used by Bransfield to win allies out of state, and others on lavish and unwise spending. Bransfield stepped down from his role as Bishop in September 2018 after accusations of fiscal impropriety with the Diocese's money as well as allegations of sexual harassment of seminarians and young priests.
