Saini v. Sutter Health CA1/4
Plaintiff’s original pleadings alleged causes of action for declaratory judgment, violation of the unfair competition law (UCL) (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.), and violation of the CLRA. Following two successful demurrers by defendant, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint (hereafter complaint) eliminating the causes of action for declaratory judgment and violation of the UCL, and asserting a single cause of action for violation of section 1770, subdivisions (a)(5) and (a)(14) of the CLRA.
The complaint alleges that in April 2016, after being treated at defendant’s emergency room, he was billed an EMS Fee in addition to the charges for individual items of service and treatment he received. His total charges of $4,593 (before discounts) included the undisclosed EMS Fee in the amount of $2,811.
