Centura also raised concerns about retroactive application of a recent Colorado Supreme Court ruling that Medicare is a primary medical payer for lien purposes. It emphasized that at the time, its interpretation of Medicare as a secondary payer was reasonable under the statute.
The Denver District Court defended its discovery order, arguing that Garcia’s interpretation of Colorado law limits the discovery process.
Garcia is represented by attorneys Robert E. Caldwell and Kevin S. Hannon. Centura is represented by McConnell Van Pelt LLC and Wheeler Trigg O’Donnell LLP.
