A Wisconsin radiology practice is suing hospital giant Ascension after the company switched to an out-of-state imaging services provider earlier this year. <\/p>\n
Milwaukee Radiologists Ltd. recently filed its claim against the Catholic health system in the local circuit court. Leaders are seeking a binding judgment against Ascension Wisconsin and its predecessor Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, the Milwaukee Business Journal reported Monday. <\/p>\n
The Greenfield-based provideraround since 1969, employing 19 physiciansclaims that a new joint-venture agreement signed by Ascension earlier this year violates its contract with Milwaukee Radiologists. Rather than immediately switching to a new deal with Premier Radiology in Nashville, the local practice alleges Ascension was supposed to execute a staggered, multi-year phase-out of their relationship through 2026. <\/p>\n
It was back in February that Ascension first announced its new imaging partnership with Premier. At the time, the two said they had already opened a freestanding imaging center in the town of Mount Pleasant, and more were in the works in Milwaukee, Glendale, Franklin,Wauwatosa and Brown Deer. <\/p>\n
