The UI and UI Physicians have dropped their case against a health-care management company, according to court documents.

In September 2008, the UI parties filed a lawsuit against Interplan Health Group. According to a Sept. 30, 2008, UI Health Care release, the group failed to apply the correct rates to patients from January 2004 to August 2006.

Doctors said the undercharge cost them more than $300,000, but they asked for more than $400,000, including interest from Interplan.

Executives at Interplan allegedly tried to persuade the doctors to overcharge patients in order to recoup the losses, but UI Physicians rejected the idea and demanded payment from the company.
