Dr. Francis Lagattuta

Dr. Lagattuta is pleased to announce a settlement of a long-standing billing dispute with three government insurance entities.

Since the Centers have been closed for a couple of years, it made sense for Dr. Lagattuta to settle the dispute and continue to move forward with his other business interests and practice.”
— Attorney Malcolm Segal, Esq.
GROVER BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA, July 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Frank Lagattuta is pleased to announce a settlement of a long-standing billing dispute with three government insurance entities. The settlement agreement between Dr. Lagattuta, Lags Spine and Sportscare Medical Centers, Inc., and the federal and state government entities clearly states that the doctor specifically denies the government insurers’ claims in this billing dispute. “The government insurers asserted that the testing performed by the many individual physicians and other medical providers previously employed by the Medical Centers was not within their program testing and billing policy
parameters or did not conform to their medical necessity directives,” said Malcolm Segal, attorney for Dr. Lagattuta and the Centers. “Since the Centers have been closed for a couple of years, it made sense for Dr. Lagattuta to settle the dispute and continue to move forward with his other business interests and practice.”

Dr. Lagattuta earlier operated more than thirty patient-oriented Centers with 40 medical providers and over 500 staff members caring for patients with chronic pain caused by a broad variety of illnesses and injuries.  While the Centers are closed and the physicians are now engaged or employed in other medical practices, previously they and the other caring medical providers, under Dr. Lagattuta’s supervision, carefully examined, tested, and treated their patients, when others might have been content to prescribe medication to mask pain. “Over 60,000 patients were examined and treated during almost two million visits during the period covered by the settlement agreement,” said Mr. Segal. “Operating a diverse medical practice of that size, with so many locations, providers, and patients, inevitably leads to insurance claims disputes.” “Dr. Lagattuta is pleased that these disputes are now fully settled by the agreement between the parties.”

Dr. Lagattuta, a physician with over 35 years of medical experience, extraordinary medical education and training, and impeccable credentials is licensed in California and continues to offer his patients high-quality care and the benefit of his medical expertise.
