HMOs Negligence:

HMO stands for health maintenance organizations, which are businesses. As managed businesses, they do not always put the patient’s health and well being first. HMO administrators, often, who are not licensed medical professionals, make financially motivated healthcare decisions for patients. For example, in an effort to cut costs, they may not allow diagnostic procedures or treatments that are medically necessary. These cost-cutting measures may cause you serious harm or even death.

HMOs have large amounts of control over doctors and other medical professionals. Very often tests and treatments need pre-approval by the HMO before they can be completed. HMOs do not cover experimental procedures and the HMO can disagree with the doctor’s recommendation and instead require another course of action. If you believe that you or a loved one have been hurt because of negligence by your HMO or health insurance provider, we can help. Our attorneys are qualified, experienced and ready to work on your behalf,
