Court finds for TeamHealth in new UnitedHealthcare dispute

UnitedHealthcare Inc. has lost another legal fight with TeamHealth in the latest billing tussle between the nation’s largest health insurer and the backed provider group, reports Healthcare Dive. A three-judge arbitration panel in Florida ruled that UnitedHealthcare underpaid a TeamHealth clinician group from 2017 to 2020, and awarded $10.8 million to TeamHealth, the report says. TeamHealth also expects an “additional award of millions of dollars” in prejudgment interest and costs.
