CAP Supports Lawsuit by California Pathologists

The CAP strongly supports the lawsuit filed by the California Society of Pathologists and Lincoln Luk, MD, FCAP against L.A. Care Health Plan in California Superior Court. This lawsuit seeks to revise L.A. Care Health Plan policy and compensate pathologists for the professional component of clinical pathology services.

The lawsuit alleges that the insurer policy violates provisions of the Knox Keene Act that require health plans to pay out-of-network providers for emergency services and, in some instances, inpatient care, as well as provisions that require health plans to cover diagnostic laboratory services for plan members.

Read more on the filing online.

The CAP will provide additional updates on this issue as new information emerges.
