"United persists in exploiting vulnerable patients and refuses to adequately pay providers, despite having faced sanctions, jury awards, and settlement payments of some half a billion dollars," said Jay Mesrobian, MD, a TeamHealth National Medical Director and Chief Clinical Officer. "This judgment reflects United's ongoing, extensive wrongdoing that puts their billions of dollars in record profits ahead of patients' well-being and the U.S. healthcare system. We will continue to fight United until they change course and start fairly compensating providers."
