Wilke Fleury Ushers Health Plan Client’s Expansion into Texas

Sacramento, Calif., April 30, 2018 – Wilke Fleury’s health care law team has again assisted client Paveljit S. Bindra, MD, MBA, MSc, FACC to form a new health care entity. In 2016, the firm helped Dr. Bindra obtain a Knox‐Keene license to create Imperial Health Plan of California, Inc., one of California’s only full‐service health plans formed and entirely owned by a single physician.

With the firm’s help, on April 13, 2018, Dr. Bindra was issued a certificate of authority as an Accident and Health insurance company by the Texas Department of Insurance, allowing him to establish Imperial Insurance Company of Texas, Inc.

“Helping Dr. Bindra with the complex regulatory, financial and legal aspects of expanding access to quality care in both California and Texas has been immensely gratifying,” said Michael G. Polis, partner, Wilke Fleury, who worked with Associates Anna Eck and Aaron Claxton on the recent licensing in Texas.

Dr. Paveljit Bindra has extensive healthcare experience in population health, health maintenance, and healthcare administration. He is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology. He has served as a Chief Medical Officer and Chief Information Officer of an acute care health system, was a partner in a large cardiology practice in Southern California, and served as the CEO and founder of an investment firm. Dr. Bindra earned his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, an MD from Harvard Medical School and an AB from Harvard College. He was a Fulbright Scholar at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, and received an MSc in Comparative Social Research.
