Bay Area hospital slammed with lawsuit over $6,000 emergency room bill for urine test
A California hospital is being sued for fraud after a woman says the hospital billed her more than $6,000 for a urine test administered in the emergency department.
Soon after, she received a $6,095 bill for the urine test, according to the lawsuit, which accuses John Muir Health of breaking California consumer-protection law. The suit claims that John Muir Health has been imposing the expensive fee for the test since 2018 while a typical test in an emergency room in the same region is around $700.
"By law, hospitals are not allowed to discuss payment prior to treatment or give out price lists," the company said."The claims will not withstand scrutiny in a court of law."
