    THERAPY OR ABUSE?
If you were treated at one of the hospitals listed below
between 1986 and 1991, please take note.
The company that owned these hospitals, National
Medical Enterprises (NME), has been prosecuted for
improper treatment of patients and insurance fraud.

ecuted NME, and a number of insurance companies
have successfully sued NME and recovered losses.
According to NME documents and court records:
- company hospitals admitted patients without
clinical evaluations by licensed professionals
- NME billed insurance companies for treatments
that never occurred
- a company Vice President paid more than $20
million in illegal kickbacks to secure insured
patients for NME hospitals
