Langston & Lott WAS AMONG THE FIRST TO ADDRESS SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH HEALTHCARE ADMINISTRATION BY HEALTH MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS (HMOS). AS PART OF A SMALL COALITION OF AGGRESSIVE PUBLIC ADVOCACY FIRMS, WE INITIATED CLASS-ACTION LITIGATION AGAINST THE NATION’S SEVEN LARGEST HMOS, DEMANDING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THEIR PRACTICES TO PROMOTE BETTER PATIENT CARE.
AS A RESULT, THE INDUSTRY HAS UNDERGONE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES. TODAY, HEALTH SYSTEMS ALLOW DOCTORS TO MAKE TREATMENT DECISIONS BASED ON MEDICAL NEED RATHER THAN ADMINISTRATIVE INTERESTS. NOW, PHYSICIANS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS HAVE GREATER CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL RECEIVE PROMPT PAYMENT FOR THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE.
