And this was not the first instance....happened a couple years ago as well...BD
SAN DIEGO ---- For the second time in three years, several area hospitals have filed a lawsuit alleging the county has failed to pay them for medical care they have provided to jail inmates and people who have been arrested. The hospitals, which include Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Pomerado Hospital in Poway, Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, Scripps Health and Sharp Healthcare, allege the Sheriff's Department failed to reimburse them for the medical services they provided from Jan. 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2006. Filed Aug. 10 in the San Diego Superior Court, the lawsuit asks the county to pay the hospitals a total of more than $1.3 million plus interest. Attorneys for the hospitals and the county could not be reached Thursday afternoon for comment.
