Nelene Fox

Nelene Hiepler Fox (January 9, 1953 - April 22, 1993) was a California woman diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. She requested her HMO to pay for High-Dose Chemotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplant (HDC/BMT) to treat her cancer. Her health maintenance organization, Health Net, declined her request, stating this therapy was an unproven, experimental therapy. She ultimately received her BMT after raising $212,000, but died eight months later, aged 40.
Her estate sued and received $5 million due to the denial. Subsequent research proved that HDC/BMT was a harmful treatment for breast cancer patients, and it is no longer used.
==Lawsuit==
Her estate brought suit against Health Net, and won a judgment for $89 million against Health Net, including $12.1 for bad faith and reckless infliction of emotional distress, and $77 million in punitive damages. ''Jim Fox and the estate of Nelene Fox v. Health Net'' is considered a watershed case in that most health insurers subsequently began approving HDC/BMT for advanced breast cancer. This judgment was subsequently negotiated down to $5 million.
