Your hospital doctor prescribes a certain medicine. But, your New York HMO doctor decides to substitute it with a generic drug which costs less. Our New York City Medical Malpractice Lawyers identify this as health care malpractice if you end up suffering due to this.

Whether you are aware of it or not, such things happen. To save costs, your HMO doctor switches to an alternative drug or treatment. In some cases, your HMO doctor does not require the consent from you or the relevant doctor. This could lead to you or your loved ones suffering allergies, adverse effects or worse conditions. Bear this possibility in mind the next time you or your loved one suffer such changes after taking medication from your HMO doctor.

Other examples of HMO malpractice in New York City are failure to run proper diagnostics tests and failure in treating an emergency condition or transferring patients to the appropriate medical practitioner.

If you suspect HMO health care malpractice in your medical treatment or those concerning your loved ones, contact our New York Medical Mal Attorneys at Ginsberg & Broome at (212) 227-4225. We are professionals who are specialized in such cases. And we will be happy to provide with the best of litigation and legal counseling.
