Martin v PacifiCare of California 198 Cal.App.4th 1390 (4/3) (2011) Insurance bad faith and vicarious liability: EM sought treatment for cerebral aneurysm. San-Diego-Auto-Accident-lawyer In network doctors (Bright Medical) referred EM to out-of-network USC which recommended procedure. PacifiCare’s utilization review doctor refused to authorize it, changed mind after several weeks, but by then aneurysm burst and EM died. PacifiCare unaware of any of these actions. Nonsuit granted, affirmed. [1] H&S C § 1371.25 explicitly precludes vicarious liability. [2] Federal Medicare Act preemption applies, if at all, prospectively only, and not in effect when decisions made. San Diego personal injury attorney.
