Shasta Regional Medical Center, formerly known as Redding Medical Center and Memorial Hospital, is a general acute care hospital that is located in Redding, California. It opened in 1945 and currently has 226 beds with a basic emergency department.^[1]^[2]

History

The hospital was founded by Dr. Thomas Wyatt, M.D., in 1945 as Memorial Hospital.^[3]

It was purchased by Tenet Healthcare Corporation in 1976 and renamed Redding Medical Center.

In 2008, it was sold to Hospital Partners of America and renamed Shasta Regional Medical Center.^[4]

Legal issues

In 2002, amid a federal investigation of two cardiologists at the hospital, Drs. Chae Hyun Moon and Fidel Realyvasquez,^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] and as part of a settlement with federal regulators, Tenet Healthcare Corporation was compelled to sell the hospital to Hospital Partners of America for US$60 million in 2004.^[9]

Unnecessary care and billing

At Redding Medical Center, the early-2000s investigation, raid and litigation were prompted because "physicians undertook large volumes of inappropriate and unnecessary procedures on largely healthy patients".^[10] The investigation into Moon and Realyvasquez was the result of multiple whistleblower lawsuits filed under the Federal False Claims Act alleging unnecessary medical procedures.^[11] Catholic Priest John Corapi,^[12] Joseph Zerga and Redding physician Patrick Campbell split 15% of the total $62.55 million settlement.^[13]

Tenet had already agreed to pay $54 million in 2003 to settle the federal case without admitting any wrongdoing but with an agreement for new oversight procedures for physicians and staff.^[14] In 2004, Tenet established a $395 million fund for 769 cardiac patients to settle civil suits relating to procedures performed by Moon and Realyvasquez.^[15]^[16]

There was evidence that Prime Healthcare Services engaged in upcoding elderly patients to malnutrition. At Shasta Regional Medical Center, Prime reported 16.1% of their Medicare patients suffered from kwashiorkor. The state of California average for Medicare patients is 0.2% suffering from kwashiorkor. Prime Healthcare Services was investigated for Medicare fraud by United States Department of Health and Human Services and the California Department of Justice.^[17]

In 2013, SRMC agreed to a settlement regarding claims of HIPAA violations when 2 senior leaders met with a reporter to discuss medical services provided to a patient.^[18]

In 2021, Prime Healthcare & 2 doctors agreed to pay $37.5 Million to settle allegations of violations of the California False Claims Act.^[19]
