In a battle between a major Jacksonville hospital and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance, the Florida Supreme Court grappled with questions about how much information the hospital should be required to disclose about its charges for care.
State Farm has sought copies of contracts between Shands Jacksonville Medical Center and health insurers, arguing that the contracts could help show whether State Farm is paying reasonable amounts when the hospital treats people injured in auto accidents. But the hospital, now known as UF Health Jacksonville, fought the request and won last year at the First District Court of Appeal.
