Plocica, et al. v. NYLCare Health Plans, Inc., et al., No. 141-175780-98
"The first lawsuit accusing a Texas health maintenance organization of malpractice has been resolved and will be dropped, parties to the suit said yesterday.
Even though the case will not go to trial, parties on both sides agreed that it has already made managed care insurers in Texas less likely to overrule a physician's recommended treatment." [Fuquay J, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, July 19, 2000]
