Patient Legal Action Against Dr. Mona Ghosh Practicing in Jupiter, FL Practice

Medical Malpractice Representation for Patients of Dr. Mona Ghosh at Her Jupiter, Florida Practice

Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide appropriate and competent care, resulting in harm to one or more patients. While medical malpractice will often consist of mistakes made by doctors when providing treatment, it may also involve a doctor performing tests or procedures that are not medically necessary. These practices may be used to allow a provider to receive payments from insurance providers or health care plans, and they can lead to serious consequences for patients.

Recently, people became aware of a situation that involved large-scale health care fraud that was allegedly committed by a doctor who billed Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance providers for services that were not actually provided, while also performing invasive treatments that were not medically necessary. Federal prosecutors in Illinois have indicted Dr. Mona Ghosh for health care fraud involving services provided at a women's health care clinic in the Chicago area. Dr. Ghosh also maintains a practice in Jupiter, Florida, and patients who received services at the HCA Florida Institute for Women's Health and Body may have been affected by these issues.

What Types of Unnecessary Procedures Were Performed by Dr. Ghosh?

One of the most serious accusations against Dr. Ghosh involves the performance of endometrial ablations when these procedures were not medically necessary. Endometrial ablation involves the removal of the tissue lining the uterus, which may be done through the application of hot liquids, probes cooled to extremely low temperatures, or the use of electricity or microwaves.

While endometrial ablations can be beneficial for women who experience heavy bleeding or other related symptoms, they can also result in a variety of serious complications, including severe cramps, excessive bleeding, infections, perforation of the uterus or bowels, and other issues that can affect a person's overall health. Endometrial ablations should not be performed on women who intend to get pregnant in the future, since pregnancies that occur after this procedure may put the health of the mother and child at risk.

Other unnecessary procedures that Dr. Ghosh is accused of performing include endometrial biopsies and tests for sexually transmitted diseases. Endometrial biopsies can be invasive, and they involve the insertion of a probe through the cervix to collect tissue from the lining of the uterus. They can result in complications such as bleeding, cramps, or infections.

Patients should always be fully informed about the procedures recommended by doctors, ensuring that they understand the risks and benefits of treatments and the alternative options that may be available. When patients are encouraged to receive unnecessary treatments, they may be unable to give informed consent for these procedures, and they may experience a variety of injuries and damages, including the need for additional medical treatment, health issues that could affect them in the future, and emotional trauma.
