FeganScott Announces Investigation into Prenatal Testing Options Revealing Flawed Genetic Results

FeganScott

Today consumer-rights law firm FeganScott announced it has launched a broad-ranging investigation into whether certain national medical laboratories, including Natera (NASDAQ:NTRA), Sequenom (now owned byLabcorp, NYSE: LH), and Quest (NYSE: DGX), provided expectant mothers with lab test results the organizations knew – or should have known – returned unacceptably high percentages of flawed results. In some instances, the flawed results led expectant mothers to believe the children they were carrying had serious genetic abnormalities, according to media reports. “Since we’ve begun our investigation into mothers who were offered prenatal testing and received flawed results, it’s evident this issue is widespread,” said Beth Fegan, founder of FeganScott. “We are examining whether the labs acted appropriately in how they disclosed information regarding the accuracy of the testing, and whether those disclosures were done in a way that allowed parents to make informed decisions regarding the test and test results.” According to media reports, many prenatal tests including Panorama, Prequel, Maternit21 and others are expected to be wrong over half the time and yet they continue to be offered as possible solutions for parents who may be worried about genetic abnormalities. “There a have been other instances in which labs and laboratory testing organizations have delivered flawed results to parents causing great emotional and financial distress. We need to be sure this isn’t happening again,” Fegan added. Individuals who are interested in learning more about this investigation are urged to send their contact information to prenataltesting@feganscott.com. ### About FeganScott FeganScott is a national class action law firm dedicated to helping victims of consumer fraud, sexual abuse, and discrimination.

Altais Launches New Multi-Specialty Independent Medical Practice in Riverside, CA

Altais

Healthcare services company Altais today announced the launch of a state-of-the-art multi-specialty medical group in Riverside, California. The new Altais Medical Group Riverside will provide a wide range of specialties from primary care and obstetrics and gynecology to interventional cardiology for community members in Riverside County beginning in February 2022. The nearly 11,000-square-foot facility is located at 4646 Brockton Ave, Riverside CA 92506. Leading up to the official opening of Altais Medical Group Riverside’s offices, prospective patients and others can visit www.amgriverside.com for more information. Visitors can also sign up online to receive important news and updates about the group via email or text, including when they can register as a new patient and schedule an appointment with a physician. The new Altais Medical Group Riverside is founded on a patient-centric model of care and provides comprehensive primary and specialty care. Services provided include everything from routine check-ups to specialized cardiac, obstetric, gynecologic, urologic and gastroenterological care. “The doctors and our healthcare teams at Altais Medical Group Riverside are all seasoned professionals with a deep commitment to serving the Riverside community,” said Rodolfo Saenz, M.D., an obstetrician / gynecologist at the new Riverside office. “Altais Medical Group Riverside patients will benefit from having multiple specialists under one roof. At the same time, we are fully committed to collaborating closely with the referral and hospital network already in place here in the Inland Empire. We are confident that new patients will appreciate the quality of care and patient-centric approach we provide.” Altais is a healthcare services company creating business models and integrated, scalable technology solutions that enhance the patient experience, improve health outcomes, reduce cost, and drive professional gratification among physicians. Altais invests directly in physician practices, clinics and related business models. In 2020, Brown & Toland Physicians, a network of more than 2,700 independent physicians in the San Francisco Bay Area, joined the Altais family of companies. Los Angeles’ Family Care Specialists, one of the largest community-based and Latinx-led private medical groups in California, joined Altais in December 2021. Altais also has two independent primary care clinics serving essential civic employees and educators in the Monterey-Salinas market. Recent studies show the greater Riverside community may have a deficit of up to 1,000 physicians to serve a growing Riverside County population of well over 2 million residents. Altais Medical Group Riverside aims to address that shortage by providing a new model of independent practice that, in time, can serve to attract more healthcare professionals to the region. “Altais is proud to launch this new medical practice group in Riverside County,” said Jeff Bailet, M.D., president and chief executive officer for Altais. “Over the past decade, the healthcare field generally and the Riverside community in particular – has experienced unprecedented levels of physician burnout and early retirements. Independent physicians have been overwhelmed by the administrative demands of maintaining their practices. Altais’ mission is to focus on reversing that trend and provide independent physicians with the business practices and technologies that help them not just endure but thrive during this difficult period and beyond. We are excited to bring that vision of medical practice vibrancy to reality in Riverside.” * * * ABOUT ALTAIS Altais is a healthcare services company that helps physicians and the clinical community maximize the health and well-being of their patients in an affordable and sustainable way. Altais has two divisions. Altais Clinical Services offers a range of affiliation and employment models for physicians and high-quality, affordable care for patients.

Most Lives Saved by Organ Transplant in a Single Year

United Network for Organ Sharing

In 2021, a historic 41,354 organ transplants were performed in the U.S., an increase of 5.9 percent over 2020 and the first time the annual total exceeded 40,000, according to preliminary data from United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), the engine that powers the nation’s organ donation and transplantation system. The three organs most commonly transplanted also set annual records. There were 24,669 kidney transplants, 9,236 liver transplants and 3,817 heart transplants in 2021. Liver transplant totals have set annual records for the past nine years, and heart transplants have set a new record every year for the past decade. “We are gratified that transplantation continues to increase substantially and meet the needs of many more people with organ failure, despite ongoing challenges to healthcare relating to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Matthew Cooper, M.D., FACS, president of the UNOS Board of Directors. “This speaks to the dedication and collaboration of donor hospitals, organ procurement organizations and transplant hospitals striving to ensure every opportunity to give the gift of life is pursued and celebrated." Thanks to the generosity of selfless donors and their courageous families, deceased organ donations continued its 11-year record trend. Increases in donation occurred in many areas throughout the nation. Of 57 organ procurement organizations (OPOs), 49 experienced an increase in donation over their 2020 total. Forty-five OPOs set all-time records for donors recovered in a single year. “As always, we are indebted to the many thousands of people who make these transplants possible through the selfless gift of organ donation,” Cooper said. “And we are reminded daily of our need to help the tens of thousands of men, women and children continuing to await a lifesaving transplant.” Learn more about organ donation and transplantation and how to register to be a donor at www.unos.org. Dr. Cooper is a transplant surgeon and the director of kidney and pancreas transplantation at MedStar Georgetown Transplant Institute at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN ) under contract with the federal government. The OPTN helps create and define organ allocation and distribution policies that make the best use of donated organs. This process involves continuously evaluating new advances and discoveries so policies can be adapted to best serve patients waiting for transplants. All transplant programs and organ procurement organizations throughout the country are OPTN members and are obligated to follow the policies the OPTN creates for allocating organs.
