Description
This is a suit by plaintiff-respondent, North Kansas City Memorial Hospital in the sum of $1,091.81 against defendant, William A. Wiley, for services rendered him while he was a patient at the hospital. 1 In turn, Wiley added as defendant (appellant) Group Hospital Service, Inc., by reason of its assumption of a certain hospitalization contract originally issued by Health Service, a corporation, earlier a party but later dismissed from this action. The jury, as directed by the court, found for plaintiff hospital and against defendant Wiley in the sum of $1,081.30, and found for defendant Wiley on his cross claim against defendant Group Hospital Service, Inc., in the sum of $669.50. Group Hospital Service, Inc., hereinafter referred to as Blue Cross, has appealed from the cross claim judgment against it. The Blue Cross policy is of the usual type and provides certain benefits, payments and services for hospitalization of the subscriber ""except as limited in Article IV or excluded in Article V."" Article V contains the following exception from the general benefits provided: ""Article V - Benefits Not Provided. Benefits shall not be provided for: * * * (b) Hospitalization for any occupational condition, ailment, or injury arising out of and in the course of employment, or which is furnished to a Subscriber under the laws of the United States or any state of political subdivision thereof."" (Italics ours.) Blue Cross denies liability for Wiley's hospital expenses on the ground that these expenses were occasioned by an injury he received arising out of and in the course of his employment and these were exempted from policy coverage under Article V thereof.
