“Two of the state’s largest health plans agreed today to reinstate nearly 1,200 patients whose health coverage the insurers dropped after the individuals incurred high medical expenses. Under the deal, patients whose coverage was rescinded by Kaiser Permanente or Health Net since 2004 will be allowed to purchase new insurance regardless of preexisting medical conditions. The settlement, brokered by the California Department of Managed Health Care, comes three months after a Gardena hair salon owner won an unprecedented $9-million judgment against Health Net for canceling her coverage while she was in the midst of undergoing chemotherapy.” (05/15/08)
