Paul Odegaard represented a local physician whose recommended cervical artificial disc replacement surgery was denied by his health insurer. The insurer claimed the proposed surgery, although FDA approved, was considered "experimental and investigational." Mr. Odegaard filed suit, alleging breach of contract and insurance bad faith claims. The settlement amount represented about 5 times what the health insurance company would have paid for the surgery under its contracted rate schedule, if the insurer had simply preauthorized the procedure.
