Case Summary
Choice Pain, a pain management practice operated by two African American physicians, has endured more than a year of improper claim rejections by Optum, resulting in a loss exceeding $1 million. These rejections selectively targeted Choice Pain, while similar claims by non-minority-owned laboratories in the same region were approved. The complaint, filed in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Prince George’s County, seeks redress for substantial financial losses incurred by Choice Pain due to Optum's discriminatory denial of insurance reimbursement claims.
