Health Care

Whatley Drake & Kallas is best known for its representation of doctors and medical societies against managed care companies. The firm has already obtained billions of dollars in relief for doctors. Today, the firm works closely with the American Medical Association in helping develop legal strategies in the antitrust and other areas.

Each year, the percentage of our country’s Gross Domestic Product going into healthcare continues to increase. Therefore, litigation in the healthcare area is growing each year. In addition to the firm's history of litigating class actions on behalf of doctors, Whatley Drake & Kallas has experienced litigators who focus on health care litigation including representing clients in civil and criminal cases in state and federal courts, in proceedings before administrative tribunals and regulatory agencies and in appeals of survey and certification determinations.

Whatley Drake & Kallas has also used its history of representing Taft-Hartley funds to pursue claims against prescription drug companies for their improper marketing of drugs where hundreds of billions of dollars are taken out of our economy each year. The firm was co-lead counsel for third party payors in the Mylan Labs Litigation, where more than a hundred million dollars was recovered for consumers and third party payors who suffered damages as a result of the collusive practices alleged in the case. Today, the firm’s cases on behalf of third party payors for prescription drugs include the following:

• Wellbutrin XL
