An investigation by federal employee rights authorities has prompted the Hennepin Healthcare system to halt age-related screenings of its older medical practitioners.
The settlement announced Thursday by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) with the county-owned health care provider calls for nine staff members to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs associated with the exams that were not covered by insurance, said the agency, which had been conducting its investigation under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment and Americans with Disabilities acts.
