Baptist Emergency Hospital agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims it charged for separate lab tests instead of billing patients for a panel of tests.

According to the surprise billing class action lawsuit, Baptist Emergency Hospital deceptively billed for laboratory panel tests in order to overcharge customers. Instead of charging for panels as a whole, the hospital allegedly billed each part of the panel as a separate item — resulting in higher costs for patients.

Baptist Neighborhood Hospital, previously known as Baptist Emergency Hospital, is an emergency care system with locations in Texas.

The hospital hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve these claims.
