For many years, we have been asked to represent facilities and individual healthcare providers against healthcare liability claims. Such cases can involve complex medical issues, complex settlement issues, and complex consent and databank reporting issues. We have also monitored litigation of such claims on behalf of individual doctor clients, interested in protecting their assets, making sure their interests were adequately protected by their liability carrier, and standing behind their decisions relating to how the case should be handled.
Health Insurance Carriers
From time to time, health insurance carriers are sued by healthcare providers over fees for services that are not paid. Many of these providers have become sophisticated enough to know how to plead such cases in a manner so as to avoid permanent removal to federal court. As a result, misrepresentation claims are common. We have developed strategies to deal with certain healthcare providers who make a habit of suing carriers for insurance benefits.
