Nevada health trial
February 21, 2013
HEALTH Plan of Nevada is set to
stand trial for its role in the largest
outbreak of Hepatitis C in US
history.
The case, brought by two victims,
alleges that the state’s largest
health management company sent
the duo to a Las Vegas outpatient
medical clinic where they
contracted incurable hepatitis C in
2005, despite evidence that former
physician Dipak Desai had a history
of medical negligence.
“We are confident that this jury,
in this case, will not only send a
message to Health Plan of Nevada
but to every HMO that if you want
to be an HMO, you better do your
job right,” the plaintiffs' lawyer said.
