From the supplier: Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) wield significant authority over both patients and physicians, the former by sometimes denying either the provision of or payment for medical care for various reasons and by limiting the patient to HMO doctors, the latter by leaving them little control over the fees they are paid and by sometimes overruling their treatment decisions. Once the lawyer understands the legal status and the structure of the HMO, one or more of the theories of vicarious liability can be used. These are nondelegable duty by contract or by statute, joint venture, agency or apparent or ostensible agency.
