As the provider of almost 5 percent of the inpatient care in the entire country, HCA Holdings, Inc. has an important responsibly to uphold strict internal ethics and compliance with hospital standards. According to their website, HCA claims to include the “monitoring and auditing performance in areas of compliance risk” in their ethics program. On the contrary, the HCA hospitals in Florida have broken this portion of their code of conduct.

Currently, approximately 95 hospitals will be reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice in regard to these unnecessary coronary stent procedures. As more and more information becomes available, it is clear that many physicians in Florida have been administering these surgeries when less invasive procedures are offered. If a Florida resident believes that this unnecessary procedure may have occurred, a coronary stent attorney may be essential for legal guidance.
