Case Study: Cox V. Colonelli Brothers
I am currently working on a workers’ compensation case involving Dr. Cox that I want to bring to your attention: Cox MD (Jose Martinez) v. Colonelli Brothers; 2007-35183.

The case involves treatment with bills for $313,210.00, where the insurance carrier only paid $29,719.08. The demand on the case was initially $150,000.00. The judge noted that a reasonable figure for settlement would be around $70,000. There is potential for settlement in the near future. However, there was some uncertainty regarding who’s our client, since the application was filed under Dr. Cox. I talked to Dr. Ghobadi’s office (which Andrew thinks is the owner of the receivables), and then Cornell Medclaim to figure out the problem. I spoke to Lou from Cornell Medclaim

    Shortly after plaintiff Nosrat Khajavi (Khajavi), an anesthesiologist, and defendant, Robert Del Pero, a surgeon, engaged in an altercation over the wisdom of proceeding with a particular surgery, defendant Feather River Anesthesia Medical Group (Feather River) terminated Khajavi’s employment. At trial, the court non-suited Khajavi’s claims that defendants Feather River and Robert Del Pero had discharged him, and conspired to discharge him, in violation of public policy -- that is, in retaliation for advocating “medically appropriate health care” in violation of Business and Professions Code section 2056.…

    In the Corn Products Refining Co. case, the company had purchased corn futures in order to ensure that the corn needed for operations could be obtained in times of shortage or raising prices, without the need to worry about storage capacity limitations. The company reported the gain or loss on the futures as ordinary income and losses in 1940 and 1942, however the company later argued that the futures should be classified as a capital asset, subjecting the gain and losses incurred to Section 117 (Section 1211). The company looked to justify this shift in treatment by stating that the purchase and sale of these futures was a separate and distinct activity from the manufacturing operations of the firm, rather than hedges for the business. The…

    This Court should grant the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment because this Court should apply the law of East Kansas. This case involves a conflict of law issue because West Kansas’s law provides that worker’s compensation is the exclusive remedy for employees, who are victims of intentional torts, while East Kansas says that worker’s compensation is not the exclusive remedy. Under the governmental interest approach to conflicts of law, this Court should resolve this conflict in favor of East Kansas because it has an interest in applying its law, while West Kansas does not.…

    Plaintiffs making a claim under Rule 10b-5 must plead scienter by “stat[ing] with particularity facts giving rise to a strong inference that the defendant acted with the required state of mind.” Livid, 403 F.3d at 1055 (internal quotation marks omitted). The higher pleading standards incorporates the scienter standard in the federal rules that requires the circumstances constituting the fraud be pled with particularity, but allows the plaintiff to plead the state of mind generally. Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b). The particularity requirement is met by pleading facts about the “times dates, places or other details of the alleged fraudulent involvement of the actors,” which gives rise to a strong inference of fraudulent intent. In re GlenFed Inc. Sec. Litig., 11 F.3d 843, 847-48 (9th Cir. 1993) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Time Warner, 9 F.3d at 263 (requiring the identity…

    Because this is an important step, many facilities use a professional to prepare the claims and send them out. A claim contains a patient’s diagnosis, treatment, and charges to the coverage company. These claims need to be extremely accurate and filed on time. Monitoring the payer adjudication is step eight, it helps the coverage companies decide if they should pay the full claim, part of the claim, hold off until further information is obtained, or denied completely. After the decision is made, a letter is sent back to the facility and a specialist makes sure that all the payments are accounted for and the reasons for denial are given. Many times the coverage company does not pay the full amount and here is where step nine comes in. What the company will pay is deducted from the patient’s bill and the final bill is given to or sent out to the patient to pay their…
