Contemptible

A Surgeon's Battle for Justice Against Insurance Giant Cigna and a Biased Federal Bench

De: John B. Hackert MD

Narrado por: John B. Hackert MD

This is a documented account of an assistant surgeon's self-represented legal quest against Cigna for equitable reimbursement and its retaliatory counterstrike in federal court under a partial bench.

Who might find the book engaging? The obvious audience would be attorneys and judges. And physicians, of course, who must face the unfair reimbursement practices of insurance megaliths. Legislators may consider it valuable. Also, anyone who will ever become a patient, which inevitably includes us all.

I believe you will actually be fascinated by the associated law and shocked at how slanted our judicial system seems to be against propriety itself. The subject matter is dense yet accessible. The listen is worthwhile, at minimum for the humor scattered in the narration.

Legally Fascinating !

It's remarkable the vast breadth of the law that Dr. Hackert, who is trained as a physician, commanded as he took on the legal department of this health care insurer giant. As a physician anesthesiologist working in the OR I know well the extreme value of having a physician as the surgical assistant rather than a PA or RN. This story exposed the gamesmanship and legal maneuvering that is allowed to get in the way of telling the jury all the facts.
