Wal-Mart's 2009 Health Care Plan Includes 'Debbie Shank Exception' - International Business Times, NY
Many company health care plans include the legal right to subrogate or reclaim medical expenses paid by a health care plan if the patient wins money in a legal settlement. The right is rarely if ever exercised by companies in tragic cases such as Debbie Shank's.
The policy change may prevent Wal-Mart from putting another family through the agony it caused the Shanks. Ultimately, the decision to pursue subrogation still remains with Wal-Mart's health care plan administrative committee, but Wal-Mart may choose to apply the exceptions liberally rather than risk the kind of public relations debacle it incurred by going after Debbie Shank.------------------------------------------- posted 7:43 AM :: reference link ::
