HMO liability legislation is essential for patients to have state law rights which protect against quality of care violations. If the patient dies before receiving treatment, the HMO pays nothing and the patient's family has no remedy. HMOs and insurers that cover private sector employees would be subject to the same state liability as all other industries.
States can enact laws to expand patients' legal remedies.
State-based HMO liability legislation can hold HMOs accountable for interfering with the quality of care a patient receives. All Rights Reserved. Read our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy .
