They settled in 2015
This is the doctor being accused of performing unneccessary hysterectomies in an ICE facility:
"Dr. Amin has a standing order at ICH which requires that certain tests always be run on pregnant patients, without any medical evaluation and regardless of her condition."
"For example no matter what symptoms the patient might be exihibiting, ICH performs an OB ultrasound on every pregnant patient, without consulting him or or obtaining his or any other doctor's medical opinion for that particular patient."
It goes on to accuse Amin of having a standing policy to always do an ultrasound if Medicaid will pay for it, but only do it if medically necessary if Medicaid *won't* pay for it.
"Dr. Amin's standing order for ultrasounds on his patients constitutes a pattern of medical services that he, ICH, and the on-call doctors know or should know are not medically necessary."
