The defective hip implants manufactured by DePuy has caused a lot of damage than expected. The victims underwent countless episodes of pain and difficulty in movement because of the malfunctioning product, not to mention the feeling of an unworthy investment over an operation that is supposed to be directed at their best interests.

Because of this major concern, thousands of people from all over the globe raised their angry frustrations to the faulty work of DePuy. This has also resulted to countless plans of filing lawsuits against the company for all the unnecessary damages done. Naturally, DePuy has thought of quick ways to avoid these lawsuits by coming up with a reimbursement plan.

It sounds promising at first, with rather unconditional benefits. All you have to do is consult with a surgeon, undergo some blood work and a few other exams, and have the defective implant removed.

Sounds quite simple.

DePuy, however, does not think that way. The company has included third parties, in the existence of health insurance companies, to pay for the revision hip surgeries performed by the doctors. The uncovered remainder of the total expenses will be left for the patients to pay. It is quite unbelievable, but it is actually a fact.

DePuy, therefore, has drafted a rather unclear and unjust reimbursement process--leading the patients to believe that the company is doing something to compensate for the damages, all for the sake of protecting its assets and avoiding lawsuits. It is indeed a smart move for DePuy to continue playing the game in the global market, but it will eventually lose.

If you think you are victim, do not allow this reimbursement plan to take control over how your damages should be claimed. Be heard. Speak to a competent hip recall lawyer for proper legal assistance.
