California Court of Appeal

In an appeal from a judgment of the trial court granting defendant's motion for a nonsuit, judgment is affirmed where the plain language of Health and Safety Code section 1371.25 prevents a health care service plan from being held vicariously liable for a medical provider's acts or omissions and insurance bad faith is not necessarily a direct liability theory.
