Double-Booked Surgeries at Mass. General Hospital Lead to $14.6 Million Settlement
“Massachusetts General Hospital will pay $14.6 million to settle a lawsuit that alleged overbilling for double-booked surgeries that were simultaneously overseen by the same surgeon. It’s the third time since 2019 that the Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital agreed to pay millions to resolve a claim stemming,” reports NBC Boston in their blog.
“The three out-of-court settlements total $32.7 million, the newspaper said. Massachusetts General officials sent an email to the hospital community saying it is pleased to resolve the matter without further litigation. The letter from the Massachusetts General president and the president of the hospital’s physician organization said the hospital.”
