ILEANA HERNANDEZ
Health Care Litigation Leader
Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP
Ileana Hernandez has a stellar reputation as a true trial lawyer, known for guiding some of the most recognizable names in health care through every stage of litigation in state and federal courts, mediations, arbitrations and administrative hearings. As leader of Manatt’s Health Care Litigation practice, Hernandez is the go-to counsel for health insurance and managed care organizations facing the gamut of complex litigation issues through her experience successfully guiding clients through the trial and appeals process.
Hernandez successfully defended a major health care insurance company in a lawsuit brought by a group of treatment providers that alleged that the company owed them millions in unpaid or underpaid claims associated with hundreds of insureds. The case raised important legal and public policy questions, including the extent to which health care providers can offer items of value to third parties and patients to get the patients in the door.
