Physicians Plus is threatening to sue UW-Madison?s doctor group, saying the group might cut off members? access to UW doctors because the insurance company rejected a contract it deemed too expensive. The threat of legal action, made in a Physicians Plus news release Monday, comes less than three weeks after UW?s doctor group sued Meriter Health Services, which owns Physicians Plus. The lawsuit claims Meriter Hospital wouldn?t provide night coverage for UW?s family medicine patients or allow more UW doctors to provide the coverage. The new conflict, according to Physicians Plus, involves an “ultimatum” from the doctor group, UW Medical Foundation.
