Medical Reimbursement Rates • Arbitration • Contracts
Highmark, Inc. v. UPMC, PICS Case No. 16-1523 (Pa. Super. Dec. 2, 2016) (memorandum) Bender, P.J. (14 pages).
Trial court properly overruled appellant’s preliminary objections and denied its motion to compel arbitration in breach of contract and unjust enrichment action over oncology reimbursement billing rates because the consent decrees between the parties expressly stated that if a violation of the consent decrees had occurred, commonwealth officials had exclusive jurisdiction to enforce their terms and those officials had taken no action to stop the litigation from proceeding. Affirmed.
