UNITEHEALTHCARE hit the guardian with a lawsuit for defamation for a story from the publication about his billing for the residents of the nursing home.
Issuance is the story of the May 21 Guardian, who claimed that the health care giant made secret payments for nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers in an effort to save money.
The lawsuit, which was raised in the Delaware Supreme Court late Wednesday, claims that Guardian had consciously published “significantly false” information and tried to capitalize media interest in killing her then CEO Brian Thompson last year in New York.
The healthcare company claimed that Guardian used internal email – from which it published excerpts – quoted outside the context. UNITEHEALTHCARE also discussed some of Guardian’s characterizations about detailed medical events in her exposure
“Guardian consciously published false and fraudulent claims about our institutional special needs program, forcing us to take actions to protect clinical-patient relationships that is essential for providing high quality care,” a representative for United. “The guardian refused to engage with the truth and decided instead of suppressing his predetermined narrative.”
A representative for the Guardian fired again in the unity lawsuit, telling the post that he is reporting on May 21 and that he intends to defend himself in court.
“Guardian stands close to his independent, independent reporting, which is based on thousands of corporate and patient records, publicly filed lawsuits, statements filed with federal and state agencies, and interviews with more than 20 current employees and former units and statements and information provided by UNITEWEALTH Over the weeks,”
“It is wild that in response to the factual reporting on the practice of secret payment of nursing homes to reduce hospitalization for vulnerable patients, the unity is directed at savage demands and tactics of intimidation through the courts,” he added.
In history, Guardian claimed that internal e -mail discovered that the UNITEHealth supervisors gave their “budgets” teams showing how many admissions at the hospital they had “left” to use in patients in nursing home.
The exit also reported that leaked emails indicated that the company also monitored nursing homes that had a smaller number of patients with “not reviving” and “do not intub” orders in their files.
“The article used a shredded view of an internal internal email to the unity of knowledge and false unity of the Nursing House to sign” Do not revive “letters as a” cost cutting tactic … even when patients had clearly expressed a desire to keep them alive. “This is definitely defamatory,” the lawsuit claimed.
“Guardian knew these allegations were false, but they published them anyway, boldly trying to capitalize the tragic and shocking murder of the then United CEO, Brian Thompson,” the lawsuit added.
