On Wednesday, the defendants in a healthcare underpayment case removed the complaint to federal court in the District of New Jersey. The complaint was originally filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Passaic County by Gotham City Orthopedics LLC against Oxford Health Plans Inc. as well as affiliated companies and several unknown individuals.
Per the complaint, Gotham is required by law to treat Oxford’s insureds for out-of-network emergency health coverage. From May 2014 through May 2017 Gotham performed emergency medical services to the defendants’ insureds and expected to be paid $476,525.31. The plaintiff has allegedly only received $45,613.08 from the defendants.
