Location: Kochi and Kozhikode, Kerala, India.

Department affected: medical coding.

Based on news reporting.

Summary

US-based healthcare technology firm CorroHealth informed nearly 900 medical coding professionals at its Kochi and Kozhikode offices of termination when they reported for work, receiving separation letters by email without prior notice. The company cited a sustained downturn in business as the reason for the workforce reduction, while employees contested that explanation, noting ongoing recruitment elsewhere and alleging retaliation after demands for overtime pay and holiday work refusal. Protests followed, prompting intervention by a local MLA and the Kerala labour department, which ordered terminations put on hold pending talks and scheduled a meeting with the Labour Secretary on July 6; the company reportedly offered an extra month's salary to employees who accepted separation and waived legal claims. The dispute remains unresolved and has drawn wider attention to warnings from the Kerala IT forum Prathidhwani about abrupt and unethical layoffs amid technological shifts.

CorroHealth cut 900 jobs affecting its medical coding team as of July 3, 2026.

LayoffTalk has tracked 5 layoff events at CorroHealth since July 2026, affecting a combined 3,500 employees.
