Amicus Brief: DiCarlo v St. Mary, Bon Secour

In a billing/collection case, the AHA and NJHA are filing on behalf of St. Mary, Bon Secour, in support of the district court's decision in favor of the hospital. The lawsuit challenged the hospital's billing practices and the difference in pricing for insured and uninsured. The brief reinforces the legal analysis of the court and its view that hospital-pricing issues are part of broader public policy issues that the courts are not best suited to resolve.
