Sanjiv Goel, M.D., Inc. v. Regal Medical Group

At issue was whether the trial court employed the correct legal standard in determining the reasonable value of appellant's emergency treatment of four patients as an interventional cardiologist. The Court of Appeal agreed with the parties that the court in Children's Hospital Central California v. Blue Cross of California, (2014) 226 Cal.App.4th 1260, correctly applied the governing standard. The Court of Appeal declined to adopt appellant's narrow reading of the case and, instead, held that Children's Hospital supports the decision that the trial court made here to consider a variety of evidence to determine the "reasonable market value" of the services that appellant provided under quantum meruit principles. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment of the trial court. View "Sanjiv Goel, M.D., Inc. v. Regal Medical Group" on Justia Law
