Goodhealth Worldwide sued for alleged non-payment of claim for treatment of child

A Bermuda firm that specializes in health insurance is refusing to pay the medical bill for a three-year-old child who choked on medication, fell into a coma and was flown from the Netherlands Antilles to Miami for emergency treatment, it has been claimed. The insurer allegedly claimed that the treatment was “improperly authorized” and “unnecessary”.
Details are contained in a petition that was filed by International Managed Care Services Inc., a Florida corporation that was bought by Aetna last October, against Goodhealth Worldwide (Bermuda) Ltd. at the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on March 5, 2008. In its petition, IMCS is seeking the appointment of an arbitrator and to compel arbitration in Miami.
