Healthcare Restructure

A Corpus Christi Physician was Awarded $20 Million by a State District Court Jury After Bringing a Lawsuit Alleging Wrongful Termination from Humana's Provider Panel

John Paul Schulze, M.D., alleged that Humana Health Plans of Texas and its peer review committee had slandered him, canceled his contract and interfered with his relationship with his patients after he complained about Humana's hospitalist program. The Corpus Christi lawsuit succeeded in getting records from Humana's peer review committee admitted in the trial, while the verdict removed some immunity privileges from the committee.
