In December 2017, RPC filed a Post-Submission Brief on “Reasonable Charge” Law in the Texas Supreme Court in the case In re North Cypress Medical Center Operating Co., LTD. Relator, v. Crystal Ann Roberts, Real Party in Interest. The case concerns the amount Ms. Roberts owes North Cypress as an out of network provider for medical services and whether North Cypress must disclose its negotiated rates with health plans. In its brief, RPC argues that the law of unjust enrichment applies. To prevent unjust enrichment of the patient, he or she owes the provider “reasonable charges.” For this purpose, “reasonable charges” are the “reasonable value” of the services, and the “reasonable value” of the services is measured by the lesser of their cost or their market value.
