Amerigroup Corp., a managed care organization, has agreed to pay $225 million in fines to resolve claims it refused to care for pregnant women and "unhealthy patients," the Justice Department announced Thursday. About $9.4 million of that settlement will go to lawyers at Chicago boutique Goldberg Kohn, which represented a former Amerigroup executive who blew the whistle on the HMO's alleged discriminatory practices. Says one Goldberg shareholder, "It's not every day you get to settle a case like this."
