The judge that heard the case dismissed it on technical grounds and Oviedo Medical Center was given the chance to refile by November 12. They did so before the deadline. On December 20, 2020, the lawsuit was settled with AdventHealth and its ER was renamed AdventHealth ER.

On May 28, 2020, AdventHealth sued California attorney Michael Weiss and his law firm, it also sued Tomax Capital Management Inc. and its CEO Yehoram Efrati. They failed to deliver 10 million N95 masks to AdventHealth valued at $57.5 million. AdventHealth asked Michael Weiss to return the money, he returned only $55.5 million and told AdventHealth that Tomax Capital Management Inc. had the remaining $2 million. In their lawsuit AdventHealth claims that the defendants knew that the masks were not available and conspired to keep the money. On August 3, AdventHealth told a Florida federal judge that the four defendants agreed to commit fraud and that it caused injury to AdventHealth in Florida giving the court authority over them. Michael Weis and his law firm asked the Florida federal judge to dismiss the claims that it is responsible for the $2 million. On July 22, Michael Weiss and Tomax Capital Management Inc. CEO Yehoram Efrati told the Florida federal judge that they can not be sued, since they personally had no connection to the deal. On October 13, Tomax Capital Management Inc. asked the Florida federal judge to dismiss the majority of the lawsuit, blaming Michael Weiss and his law firm. On February 23, 2021, U.S. District Judge Paul Bryan denied the requests by the defendants to dismiss the lawsuit against them. On March 2, a Florida federal judge dismissed the lawsuits against Michael Weiss and his law firm, one day after they agreed to resolve the claims with AdventHealth. On March 8, U.S. District Judge Paul Byron agreed to stay the case until October 12, when Tomax Capital Management Inc. and its CEO Yehoram Efrati would have to make final payments to AdventHealth under an agreement that was signed on March 3. On April 16, AdventHealth asked a Florida federal judge to award it $1.5 million, plus $10,573 in interest and attorney fees after Tomax Capital Management Inc. defaulted on its first payment to AdventHealth. On May 12, 2021, U.S. District Judge Paul Byron ruled in favor of AdventHealth after Tomax Capital Management Inc. and its CEO Yehoram Efrati failed to make its first payment of $300,000, to AdventHealth on April 12.
