"We're looking into it, it's unfortunate," Attorney General Andrea Campbell told WBZ TV political analyst Jon Keller. We care deeply about patients and employees who are affected and want to help especially with continuity of care." Steward Medical Group is in the process of planning a job fair to help Compass Medical clinicians and employees find positions that allow them to continue to serve their patients in the local community. We understand how difficult this is for the community, in the wake of the fire at Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital, the expected closure of Compass Medical will create even more restrictions on access to care for patients. Compass has not paid Steward any part of that claim and has nothing to do with them going bankrupt. They lost a $16 million verdict to Steward and were found guilty of fraud. In a statement, Steward Health Care said, "Steward has no role or responsibility in the financial management or operations of Compass. Just last year, Compass Medical lost a lawsuit and was ordered to pay more than $16 million to Steward Health Care. The company cited a "steady stream of challenges" for the closure. Medical records will be preserved and available in accordance with all state and federal regulations."
Compass will be updating the website regularly with information on how patients can contact their physician in their new practice setting and how they can obtain access to their medical records. "Most Compass physicians will continue to provide medical care in their local communities as part of other practices. "We deeply regret the impact that Compass Medical P.C.'s closure will have on our patients and would like them to know that we are implementing a plan to ensure the continuity of their care," Compass Medical said in a statement. QUINCY - Thousands of patients are left scrambling after Compass Medical abruptly shut down on Wednesday.
