Leon v. Watsonville Hospital
Plaintiffs Maria Leon and Rafael Leon brought an action against defendant Watsonville Hospital Corporation for the hospital’s failure to advise them, when they were admitted to the emergency room, that the emergency room physicians did not accept plaintiffs’ health care plan and for the hospital’s failure to take other action to prevent the emergency room physicians from “balance billing†or charging excessive fees for services rendered. Plaintiffs, who brought the action on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated persons, sued the hospital for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unfair business practices, violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Civ. Code, § 1750 et seq.; CLRA), and declaratory and injunctive relief.
