Accretive Health Inc. asked a U.S. judge to throw out Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s lawsuit accusing the company of breaching privacy laws after a laptop containing data on about 23,500 patients was lost.

Accretive, which manages hospital billings and collections, filed a motion today with U.S. District Judge Richard H. Kyle in St. Paul, Minnesota, in which it called some of Swanson’s allegations “factually baseless and legally indefensible.”
