Civil actions
Official statutory text
A. Any person, other legal entity, or any governmental agency
may bring a civil action to restrain a provider of home care
services, or a person acting on behalf of the provider or under the
provider's control from, or for the collection of damages caused by:
1. Making or enforcing unconscionable terms or provisions of a
provider agreement;
2. Fraudulent or unconscionable conduct in inducing a patient
to enter into an agreement; or
3. Fraudulent or unconscionable conduct in collecting fees for
services.
B. In an action brought pursuant to this section, the court may
grant relief if it finds:
1. That the defendant has made unconscionable agreements or has
engaged in or is likely to engage in a course of fraudulent or
unconscionable conduct;
2. That the agreements or conduct of the defendant has caused
or is likely to cause injury to a patient; or
3. That the defendant has been able to cause or will be able to
cause injury primarily because of the nature of the services
involved.
C. In applying this section, consideration shall be given to
each of the following factors:
1. Belief by the defendant at the time the services were
provided that there was no reasonable probability of injury;
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 792
2. Knowledge by the defendant at the time the services were
provided of the inability of the patient to receive substantial
benefit from the services provided;
3. Gross disparity between the price of the services provided
measured by the price at which similar services are readily
available or obtainable by like patients;
4. The fact that the defendant contracted for or received
separate or additional charges for services with the effect of
making the cost for the services provided, considered as a whole,
unconscionable;
5. The fact that the defendant has knowingly taken advantage of
the inability of the patient reasonably to protect the patient's
interests by reason of physical or mental infirmities, ignorance,
illiteracy, or inability to understand the language of the
agreements or similar factors; and
6. Any other fact.
D. In an action brought pursuant to this section, conduct, a
charge, or a practice expressly specified in this section shall not
in itself be deemed unconscionable.
E. With respect to an action brought to restrain actions
pursuant to the provisions of the Home Care Act, or unconscionable
agreements or fraudulent or unconscionable conduct, a person may
apply to the court for temporary relief against a defendant, pending
final determination. If the court finds after a hearing held upon
notice to the defendant that there is reasonable cause to believe
that the defendant should be restrained, it may grant any temporary
relief or restraining order it deems appropriate.
F. In addition, after demand, a person, other legal entity or
governmental agency may bring a civil action against a provider of
home care services, or a person acting on behalf of the provider or
under the provider's control, to recover damages incurred as a
result of any action taken by the provider or such person, subject
to the provisions of this section.
G. The provisions of this section shall not affect any other
remedies available under other principles of law or equity.
