HonorHealth is arguing in Arizona federal court that a podiatry group’s lawsuit claiming it favors orthopedic surgeons over foot specialists, even if that means unnecessary amputations, baselessly dramatizes mundane hospital staffing decisions.
The podiatry practice “is attempting to turn a decade-long series of intermittent gripes with HonorHealth and perhaps a handful of Phoenix-area orthopedists into a federal antitrust violation,” the hospital chain claimed in court papers filed Monday, May 4. “This court should not allow it” reported Bloomberg Law.
HonorHealth, which was formed by a 2015 merger involving five area hospitals, is effectively boycotting podiatrists when it comes to the “lucrative” foot and ankle surgeries they specialize in, the lawsuit claims. It was filed by Oasis Foot & Ankle LLC in the US District Court for the District of Arizona.
