Capito v. San Jose Healthcare System, LP

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of claims alleging that a hospital unlawfully failed to disclose emergency medical services fees before treating emergency-room patients. It held that, when a hospital complies with the governing state and federal disclosure scheme, the UCL and CLRA do not impose an additional pre-treatment disclosure duty, and the complaint did not adequately allege unfair, unlawful, or deceptive conduct. The court also dismissed as moot the appeal concerning the trial court's order striking class allegations.
