A U.S. federal judge has set a May 2011 trial date for a health insurance antitrust case brought against radiology benefits management firm CareCore National. The suit was filed in 2008 by Jericho Specialty Imaging (JSI) of New Hyde Park, NY.
Judge Leonard Wexler of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York set the date immediately after denying CareCore's request to dismiss the case, according to JSI.
JSI's suit alleges that CareCore has refused to allow JSI into its provider network and has denied the facility access to Oxford, Aetna, Health Net, and HIP Health Plan of New York subscribers in the Long Island and greater New York area. JSI is represented by law firm Constantine Cannon of New York City.
