Refuses To Rule On Insurance Payment INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Appellate Court has refused to rule on a touchy money problem affecting hospitals and insurance payments and the judge who wrote the opinion said “it isn’t the court’s job” to legislate. Judge Thomas J. Faulconer wrote the opinion which upheld the Marion .County Superior Court on a ruling against the Indianapolis Methodist Hospital. The hospital had brought suit against the Town and Country Mutual Insurance Co., which had the policy on a car involved in an accident in which James Murphy was injured. Murphy was a patient in the hospital for a month in 1958 and had a bill totaling $1,957, part of which was unpaid. Murphy had assigned to the hospital an interest in any money he might recover from the insurance company sufficient to cover the bill. The insurance company settled later with Murphy for $11,500 but the hospital did not get any of this money, according to its suit. Faulconer said the decision was based on a technicality and did not attempt to answer the question of whether such assignment was valid. “This particular assignment was no good, but that doesn’t mean another type of assignment is not equitable, ’’ Faulconer said.
