Catholic Healthcare settlement approved
From Bloomberg News
Catholic Healthcare West’s $423-million settlement with former patients who claimed they were charged excessive fees won a judge’s final approval, a lawyer for patients said.
Superior Court Judge Richard A. Kramer in San Francisco approved the accord resolving claims for as many as 780,000 uninsured patients at Catholic Healthcare West hospitals, attorney Kelly M. Dermody said.
Patients covered by the class-action lawsuit can file claims for refunds or reductions of 35% from their bills, the lawyer said.
