Cal. Physicians Service v. Super. Ct.
Defendant, Physicians Service doing business as Blue Shield of California, is the claims administrator of Self Insured Schools of California. Plaintiff, Richard White, sued defendant when his claim for a cancer treatment was denied. After defendants summary judgment motion was denied, it filed the present mandate petition. On October 3, 2008, we issued an alternative writ of mandate and no return was filed. Court hold that defendant, as an agent and claims administrator, may not be held liable for the denial of benefits by Self Insured Schools of California. (Shoemaker v. Myers (1990) 52 Cal.3d 1, 24; Sanchez v. Lindsey Morden Claims Services, Inc. (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 249, 253.)
