Opinion In Children’s Hospital Central California v. Blue Cross of California

This document filed June 10, 2014, is a state appeals court decision on a lawsuit between Children's Hospital Central California and Anthem Blue Cross. The lawsuit concerned a dispute about insurer reimbursement for services provided during a period when rate negotiations between the hospital and insurer had stalled. The appellate court reversed a trial court decision that allowed the hospital to charge its list prices. The appeals court ordered a new trial to establish damages that reflect the "reasonable value" of services, not the list prices . . .
