This is an update to a post last November on www.health-insurance-litigation.com about allegations of patient-dumping by Kaiser Permanente in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that Kaiser has agreed to a settlement of civil and criminal charges brought by the Los Angeles City Attorney. The first-of-its-kind settlement "requires the HMO to establish new discharge rules, provide more training for employees and allow a well-known former U.S. attorney to monitor its progress."
