Q: Attorney Tully, can an HMO be held responsible for carelessly hiring an incompetent doctor who causes damages (injury) to patients in the HMO network?
A: Yes. A jury in Las Vegas, Nevada recently awarded $524 million (yes, that’s right $524 million dollars) to two patients who contracted hepatitis C from a Las Vegas colonoscopy center. The HMO was hit with the huge award against them for negligently credentializing the doctor behind a deadly hepatitis outbreak. Even worse, the HMO kept the incompetent doctor in their network after the discovery. Incredibly, the HMO continued to refer unsuspecting patients to the doctor who was responsible for the outbreak.
