The California Medical Association is suing the state’s three largest for-profit health insurers, claiming they have forced doctors to provide less than adequate care to patients. The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in San Francisco, claims the companies impose unfair contract terms, deny and delay payments for medically necessary treatments and deliberately underpay doctors. The CMA also accuses the companies of fraud.
