NEW YORK -- Federal prosecutors have expanded their probe of Tenet Healthcare Corp., seeking information related to coronary procedures and billing practices at three Los Angeles-area hospitals over the past six years, the company said at the weekend. The embattled company, which last July received subpoenas about physician relocation agreements at seven Southern California hospitals, said the new request centres on certain cardiac physicians at the Centinela Hospital Medical Center, Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital and USC University Hospital. The three hospitals are owned by Tenet subsidiaries.
