The role of the HMO risk manager in medical malpractice cases--Part II.
This is the second part of a 2-part article. In part I, the author provided an overview of HMO laws, including the application of statutes and regulations. In part II, the author focuses on liability theories against HMOs and defense theories in their favor. All of the "traditional" theories apply in addition to new ones, resulting in evolving laws that are challenging for the risk manager.
