LOS ANGELES—Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. is suing a company and a former Kaiser employee for allegedly defrauding the health plan out of millions of dollars as it raced to meet the challenges of having sufficient personal protective equipment for its medical staff during the pandemic.
The allegations in Kaiser’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against Wasatch Co. include breach of an oral and written contract, unjust enrichment, breach of the duty of loyalty, fraud and receipt of stolen property. Kaiser seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the suit brought June 24.
