LOS ANGELES – Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. announced Thursday that deputies in his office are launching an independent inquiry into how health management organizations (HMOs) review and pay insurance claims submitted by doctors, hospitals and other medical providers.
This investigation is prompted by reports that California's five largest health-insurance providers are denying insurance claims at rates of up to 39.6 percent.
"These high denial rates suggest a system that is dysfunctional, and the public is entitled to know whether wrongful business practices are involved," Brown said.
In the coming days and weeks, deputies will review records and will speak with individuals who have relevant knowledge of the issues raised.

The community meeting is an opportunity for professionals to learn more about Narcotics Anonymous and how they help addicts recover from the disease of addiction.
While the afternoon will be geared for professionals who work with addicts, this presentation is open to anyone who would like to learn more about what NA does in the community.
This presentation will include a “fishbowl” meeting, where participants can observe a “real-world” view of the inside of a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. Light refreshments will be served.
Narcotics Anonymous is a nonprofit group of men and women who meet regularly to help each other stay clean by sharing their experience, strength, and hope.
NA is composed of individuals from all walks of life. They are an anonymous fellowship, so addicts who seek recovery may be confident that their anonymity will be protected.
The group's primary purpose is to “carry the message to the addict who still suffers.”
Lake County Narcotics Anonymous hosts meetings regularly throughout the area and operates a helpline to assist those who want to stop using. The helpline number is 707-262-0132.
