Judge issues injunction against Marshfield Clinic

Article Abstract:

Federal Judge Barbara Crabb has issued an injunction forbidding the doctor-owned Marshfield Clinic and its health maintenance organization (HMO) from signing illegal contracts in northern Wisconsin. The ruling is a precursor to a 1997 trial involving the allegation by Blue Cross and Blue Shield United of Wisconsin that Marshfield conspired with another HMO to divide a market illegally. However, Crabb also ruled that Blue Cross must meet a high standard of proof in the case.

Prudential must pay IPA for breaching contract

Article Abstract:

An arbitration panel has ordered the payment of $9.6 million to a Linwood, NJ, independent practice association by Prudential Insurance Co. The independent practice association sued Prudential for breach of contract in 1992 because after it sold its health maintenance organization to Prudential there was a major deterioration in the relationship between the physicians' group and Prudential.
