JUDGMENT ON PLEADINGS IN BILLING PRACTICES CASE

The Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, granted a motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by Wagstaff & Cartmell on behalf of Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City.

The court dismissed the case, in which plaintiffs were attempting to bring a class action to challenge certain billing practices.

Wagstaff & Cartmell and Saint Luke’s had previously prevailed on two lawsuits bringing similar allegations, one of them filed in Jackson County and one of them filed in federal court in Kansas.

Tom Wagstaff is the primary counsel for Saint Luke’s. Ty Hudson argued the motion, and Adam Davis was primarily responsible for drafting the motion.
