ARTICLE 2 PREFERRED PROVIDER ARRANGEMENTS

33-30-21. Legislative intent.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Judicial intervention refused.

- Appellate court refused to intervene in allegations made by uninsured patients against a non-profit hospital that the uninsured patients were charged more than patients who were covered by insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, as it refused to intervene in a commercial transaction for which the legislature has already established a policy favoring price-comparison by the patient, whereby judges and juries would be called on to set appropriate prices for hospitals to charge the hospitals' patients.
