Michael D. Brandner, M.d., Appellant v. Providence Health & Services—washington, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the lower court’s ruling that Providence’s substantive policy was properly applied, but reversed the lower court on Dr. Brandner’s due‑process claims, holding that terminating his privileges without a pre‑termination hearing violated procedural due process and that Providence was not immune from damages under HCQIA. The case was remanded for further proceedings on his damages claim.
