Puerto Rico College of Dental Surgeons Sues Insurers
The Puerto Rico College of Dental Surgeons (the Colegio) has filed a $150 million class action lawsuit against most of the insurance companies in Puerto Rico, alleging that dentists have been paid late or not at all, were not paid interest and that services were downcoded or bundled, among other allegations.
Dr. Thomas Medina, president of the Colegio, said the insurance companies have created a system that interferes with the doctor-patient relationship.
