Nager v. Allstate Insurance Company7/31/2000
Neither can med-pay insurers leave their insureds exposed to the prospects of delayed or deferred medical treatment because of deceptive practices designed to avoid claims payments. (Neal v. Farmers Ins. Exch. (1978) 21 Cal.3d 910 [insurer attempted to coerce insured into settling uninsured motorist claim].)
But, as we have indicated, no such evidence of bad faith was proffered here. Allstate legitimately asked Vostmyer to substantiate the medical necessity for his treatments and the reasonableness of their costs. Nager was not denied any treatment, and Vostmyer was paid.
Judgment affirmed. Allstate is entitled to costs on appeal.
WE CONCUR:
SILLS, P. J.
RYLAARSDAM, J.
As amended 08/23/00. There is no change in the judgment.
