Prem Reddy
Prem N. Reddy (born 1 June 1948) is an Indian cardiologist and an owner of Prime Healthcare Services, Inc.
Reddy was born in a rural village called Baddevolu village and grew up in Nidiguntapalem village Nellore district in southern India. He graduated from Sri Venkateswara University Medical College in 1973. In 1976 Reddy and his wife immigrated to the United States.
Reddy's, who holds an MD, FACC, and FCCP, is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and cardiology. Reddy is no longer licensed to practice medicine in California.
In the early 1980s, Reddy founded Desert Valley Medical Group in Victorville, CA and established Primecare Medical Group in 1992.
Dr. Prem Reddy, MD, founded the California University of Science and Medicine (CUSM) in 2015.
On 8 July 2007, the Los Angeles Times ran a news story that alleged that the policies of Prime HealthCare Services, Inc. resulted in higher than average profits at the possible cost of patient care. According to the Times story,
When Reddy's company, Prime Healthcare Services Inc., takes over a hospital, it typically cancels insurance contracts, allowing the hospital to collect steeply higher reimbursements. It has suspended services—such as chemotherapy treatments, mental health care and birthing centers—that patients need but aren't lucrative.... On four occasions since 2002, inspectors have found that Prime Healthcare facilities failed to meet minimum federal safety standards, placing their Medicare funding at risk.
In 2005, two former nurses at Desert Valley Hospital won a lawsuit in which they claimed they were improperly fired after they accused hospital management of providing inadequate care to save money and Reddy of repeatedly reporting to work while under the influence of alcohol. In February 1999, Reddy was arrested for allegedly attacking Harry Lifschutz at Desert Valley Medical Group. Reddy jumped over a desk in the doctor's waiting room and allegedly attempted to choke him and take a laptop from Lifschutz's office.
