JAMIE R. CANNADY,
Defendant
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
Present at a pretrial conference held May 24, 2006, were David W. Knauer, Esquire,
attorney for the plaintiffs, and Michael B. Scheib, Esquire, attorney for the defendant.
This case arises out of an automobile accident which occurred on May 26, 1999, when
the defendant drove into the back ofthe plaintiffs' vehicle. The defendant has admitted
negligence.
There will be a question in the case as to the extent of the plaintiff s recovery for medical
bills. The defendant contends that not all of the bills were related to the motor vehicle accident
and, in any event, the plaintiff did not actually pay the medical expenses. As this case involves a
limited tort election, there is a threshold question as to whether or not the plaintiff has sustained a
serious impairment of a bodily function.
This otherwise uncomplicated case should take no more than two days to try.

4. Causation of plaintiffs injuries; and,
5. Nature and extent of plaintiffs injures.
IV. LEGAL ISSUES:
Defendant has admitted negligence for this motor vehicle accident. In addition,
there is no dispute that plaintiff has selected the limited tort option. Defendant
maintains that plaintiff has not sustained a serious impairment of a bodily function.
As a result plaintiff's recovery would be limited to the amount of plaintiffs
out-of-pocket medical expenses that are causally related to the motor vehicle
accident.
V. IDENTITY OF WITNESSES:
A. Jamie Cannady; and,
B. Dr. James Boyle (expert witness). A copy of Dr. Boyle's expert report
is attached hereto.
Defendant reserves the right to edit or delete from this list of witnesses upon
proper notice to the Court and other counsel.
VI. LIST OF EXHIBITS:
1. Dr. Boyle's report;
2. Plaintiffs medical records; and,
3. Plaintiffs dental records
Defendant reserves the right to add or delete from this list of exhibits upon proper
notice to the Court and other counsel.
VII. SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS
On July 13, 2004 counsel for Defendant Cannady listed this case for an Arbitration
Hearing. The Arbitration Hearing was held on Tuesday, September 24, 2004.
Following the Hearing the panel dismissed the claim of Plaintiff Debra Sheffer and
awarded Plaintiff Gregory Sheffer the amount of $6,400. On October 26, 2004
plaintiff appealed the arbitration award.
From the date Plaintiff's counsel filed his appeal until the present, Plaintiff has
never made any demand. In a recent telephone conversation Plaintiffs counsel
stated that he did not know the amount of defendant's policy. He, however,
demanded the policy limits. Defendant's carrier did not authorize an appeal of the
arbitrator's award. It would have been willing to pay that figure to resolve 1h5case.

RE: Gregory Sheffer
Record # 13 8700
Dear Attorney Scheib:
Mr. Sheffer was evaluated by me at your request for an independent dental examination
on August 27, 2003. The patient was unsure ofthe reason for the examination but fell il
was related to his motor vehicle accident. A history was obtained from the patient and
medical records provided by your office were reviewed.
The patient was involved in a motor vehicle accident on May 26, 1999. The patient had
been stopped while waiting to make a left-hand turn and was struck from behind by
another vehicle, The patient states that he was wearing a seat bell. The patient states
that his head went back but he did not strike his head or face on the steering wheel or
any other object.
The patient was thcn takcn to Carlisle llospital for evaluation, Upon initial presentation
there was pain in the posterior aspect of the neck. Thc patient had little discomfort of
the lower back, which was not present at the time of the accident. The patient had no
neurologic complaints and there waS no loss of consciousness. In addition, the patient
had no other complaints other than the neck pain and lower back pain, Specific parts of
the clinical examination reveal the patient's mental status was appropriate, his thoughts
were clear, his memory was intact and his speech was normal and ciear. Cervical spine
radiograph revealed no fracture or dislocation, There was evidence of degenerative
arthritis, Dr. Winer instructed the paticnt on using ice as well as non-steroidal anti-
inflammatories and tllat the patient was to follow with his regular physician. A
diaguosis of cervical strain was given.
The patient was followed up by Dr. Kovacs who had bccn treating Mr, Sheffer for
hyperlipidemia, During thc initial examinations by Dr. Kovacs, there_was continued
neck strain with symptoms of the lower back. TIle patient was noted to have good
range of motion of his neck and good range of motion of his back. The patient,
however, was referred to physical therapy for the increasing pain of the neck and lower
back. Mr. Sheffer was then evaluat~-d and treated by the Alexander Spring Rehab
Group in Carlisle, PA, The patient was placcd on a two-to-thrce timcs-a-weck regimen
of range of motion exercise as well as myofacial releasc relaxation techniques. The
initial assessment by the physical therapy group was cervical dysfunction and muscle
spasm with restricted motion and also lower back pain associated with possible anterior

February 23, 2000 the patient was found 10 have decreased TMJ symploms while
wearing the dentures at night, and his incisal opening was 43mm.
On May I, 2000 Mr, Shcffer undcrwent placement of two mandibular implants at the
canine positions, which were eventually treated with ball abutments on August 15,
2000_ There were no further range of motion remarks until April 29, 2003 where il was
noted that the patient had an incisal opening of SOmm and 2mm of right lateral
excursion and 3mm of left lateral excursion. The dentures were noted to be stable,
Review of Dr. Minium's record reveals that the patient had been seen on January 10,
1991 for a denture check. There is no mention of the patient's type ofoccJusion or how
old the existing dentures were at that time. The next recorded visit by MJ-, Sheffer is on
O<:tober 27, 1999 where fmal impressions were taken, The remaining treatment record
involves the patient undergoing wax try,ins, checking of alignment of the dentition and
adjustments taking place from December 21, 1999 to February 7, 200([' The patient
then had impressions of the ball abutments on August 30, 2000 in preparation for
abutment attachments for the denture. There is no mention during any of the trealment
with Dr, Minium of occlusion, changes in occlusion or any of the patient's temporo-
mandibular joint symptoms,
Dr, Kovacs' examination in his office of July 16,2000 states that the patient was mostly
recovered from his accident. The patient had been jogging between six and twelve
miles a weck. The patient was notcd to have a normal ear nose and throat exam and his
extremities were without edema.
In summary, Mr. Sheffer had suffered myo-facial symptoms following the motor
vehicle accident. The patient was treated via rigorous physical therapy regimens for
improvement of both his neck and lower back problems. As it relates to the oral cavity
and temporo-mandibular joints, the paticnt did not present with any symptoms until
approximately six weeks status post trauma, Both the M,RL and the cervical spine
films indicate chronic degenerative joint disease.
Therc is clinical evidence of over-c1osure/loss of vertical dimension with the patient's
existing dentures that were worn at the time of his motor vehicle accident, It appeared
that the patient's symptoms improved with adjustments of the existing denture and
fabrication of a new denture. The patient was also undergoing physical therapy for
range of motion as well as relaxation exercise for the myo-facial symptoms with which
Mr, Sheffer was afflicted,
The examinalion in our office on August 27, 2003 revealed a well,developed well-
nourished male in no acute distress who was tolerating a regular diet, was having no
pain at all with his temporo-mandibular joints and had no symptoms of pain with
palpation or trigger points about the face and neck. The patient had periodic clicking of
thc temporo-mandibular joints, which were not painful or limiting the patient's range of
motion, The patient had an incisal opening of greater than 40mm, The mandibular
implants were noted to be stable wilh pink soft tissue about the implants, The patienl al

implants were noted to be stable with pink soft tissue about the implants. The patient at
this tilDe was still taking Alleve and amitrip1yline for episodes of neck and lower back
pain.
Mr. Sbeffer had been a long-standing denture wearer with long periods of time between
regular appointments with his prosthesis. The patient had pre-existing degenerative
changes of the tempora-mandibular joint as well as the cervical spine. Mr. Sheffer also
had dentures that exhibited a decreased vertical dimension, which is not uncommon
with dentures that are over five years of age. At the time of the patient's specific
evaluation for his tempora-mandibular joints, the patient's only complaint was that his
lower jaw protruded beyond the upper jaw. There is no mention in the records of any
specific correction of the patient's initial chief complaint. At the time of the initial
presentation the patient was having no pain with his temporo-mandibular joints and
exhibited a normal range of incisal opening. The patient did state to me that his
existing denture had a comfortable bite and it is unclear at what point in his treatment
that tbe bite was improved. It was likely that this was with the fabrication of new
dentures. The patient's improvement in his symptoms of the tempora-mandibular joint
appear to be a combination of correcting the pre-existing condition of needing new
dentures as well as the range of motion and relaxation therapy the patient was
undergoing with the physical therapist. The mandibular implants enhanced the
retention of the mandibular denture. I do not [md any correlation with the placement of
the implanls and Mr. Sheffer's treatment of his tempora-mandibular joints, The implant
treatment is not related to the motor vehicle accident. Since the patient has returned to
a normal diet, normal speech and returned to work, Mr. Sheffer, in my opinion, did not
suffer serious long-term impairment of maxillofacial/dental function.
Mr, Sheffer was cooperative and polite during the examination. If I can be of further
assistllnce, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,

Defendant
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
Present at a pretrial conference held May 24, 2006, were David W. Knauer, Esquire,
attorney for the plaintiffs, and Michael B. Scheib, Esquire, attorney for the defendant.
This case arises out of an automobile accident which occurred on May 26, 1999, when
the defendant drove into the back of the plaintiffs' vehicle, The defendant has admitted
negligence.
There will be a question in the case as to the extent of the plaintiff s recovery for medical
bills, The defendant contends that not all of the bills were related to the motor vehicle accident
and, in any event, the plaintiff did not actually pay the medical expenses. As this case involves a
limited tort election, there is a threshold question as to whether or not the plaintiff has sustained a
serious impairment of a bodily function.
This otherwise uncomplicated case should take no more than two days to try.

III. DAMAGES
A. Economic damages
As previously stated, Plaintiff Sheffer is a limited tort Plaintiff. He has not
suffered any lost wages. He has incurred some out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Defendant believes that the actual amount of Plaintiff Sheffer's out-of-pocket
medical expenses is less than reported. In addition, not all of the alleged out-of-
pocket medical expenses are admissible. In some instances Defendant's expert
witness has testified that the treatment was not related to the motor vehicle
accident. In other instances no witness has testified that the treatment was
related to the motor vehicle accident.
In discovery Plaintiff has produced a hand written note entitled
out-of-pocket expenses. This document indicates that Plaintiff has incurred
out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $5,926.68. This figure should be
reduced. First the hand written note from Plaintiff Sheffer indicates that his
employer paid dental bills of $1,200. Thus, this amount is not part of Mr.
Sheffer's out-of-pocket expenses.
Secondly the out-of-pocket expense figure should be reduced in the
amount of Dr. Minium's bills. The hand written note indicates that Dr. Minium's
bills total $1,200. Plaintiff Sheffer has indicated that he has paid $556.30. There
is an outstanding balance of $643.70. Since Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred the
out-of-pocket expense, the outstanding balance of $643.70 should not be
admitted into evidence.
2
.,,1
-;-,.- -.;,1,- -' ,,-,.
("""~<'- ,,~ --,-
,
, '
In addition, the entire amount of Dr. Minium's bills should not be allowed.
No one will testify that Dr. Minium's bills of $1,200 are related to this motor
vehicle accident. Dr. Minium will not testify at this trial.
The $1,200 bill from Dr. Minium is for Plaintiff's new dentures. Plaintiff
Sheffer had 21 year old dentures at the time of the motor vehicle accident. The
motor vehicle accident is not the reason for the new dentures.
Finally, the Out-of-Pocket Expense sheet list medical bills in the amount of
$1,776. These are from various health care providers that allegedly treated Mr.
Sheffer. A witness from the facilities will not testify at the trial of this matter. In
addition, there is no testimony that these medical bills are related to the motor
vehicle accident. Accordingly, they can not be included in Plaintiff's list of
damages.
More importantly, Plaintiff Sheffer has alleged that he paid a Central PA
MRI Center bill of $850.00. Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred this expense.
Plaintiff has produced a letter dated March 21, 2000 from American Sentinel
Insurance Company (ASIC) to Central PA MRI Center. In this letter ASIC
refused to pay the Central PA MRI Center bill of $850.00 because the benefits
had been paid directly to the claimant, Gregory Sheffer. A few months later
Plaintiff Sheffer sent a check for $850.00 to Central PA MRI Center. He however
did not incur an out-of pocket expense. Rather, the insurance company check
had been sent directly to him instead of to the health care provider.
As previously stated, the actual amount of Plaintiff Sheffer's out-of-pocket
medical expenses is less than reported.

B. Non-Economic Damages
Plaintiff alleges that he suffered a serious impairment of a body function.
Plaintiff attempts to allege that he has TMJ. Plaintiff, however, does not have a
serious impairment of a body function. Plaintiff was seen by Dr. Beaudry on
September 7, 1999. At that time he filled out a questionnaire. He indicated that
he was not suffering from any jaw joint pain, ear pain, or pain when he spoke,
chewed food or opened his mouth wide. In essence Plaintiff has not suffered any
pain at all.
Dr. Beaudry will testify in this matter. He indicated that Mr. Sheffer
complained that his dentures fell out of his mouth during the evening hours, In
order to get the dentures to stay in his mouth, he inserted an implant in his
mouth. The purpose of the implant was to simply hold the dentures in his mouth
while he was sleeping. Mr. Sheffer did not have any disruption of his lifestyle.
He did not suffer a serious impairment of a body function. As a result Mr. Sheffer
is not entitled to an award for non-economic damages.

MOTION IN LIMINE OF DEFENDANT
JAMIE R. CANNADY
Come Now Defendant Jamie R. Cannady, by and through his attorneys, Griffith,
Strickler, Lerman, Solymos & Calkins, and Michael B. Scheib, Esquire, and files this
Motion In Limine, Defendant Cannady requests this Honorable Court to:
I. Preclude Mention ofInsurance; and,
II, Preclude Introduction of Plaintiffs Medical Bills.
I. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE MENTION OF INSURANCE
The general rule in Pennsylvania is that evidence of insurance is irrelevant and
justifies the grant of a mistrial. See, Divelv v. Penn Pittsburgh Corporation, 332 Pa. 65,
2A.2d 831 (1938): Paxton National Insurance Companv v. Brickailik, 513 Pa. 627, 522
A.2d 531 (1987). The mention of insurance or the fact that the Defendant has insurance
coverage for this lawsuit would prejudice the Defendant and would require a mistrial.
Phillips v. Shoenberger, 369 Pa, Super. 52, 534 A.2d 1075 (1987).
WHEREFORE, Defendant Jamie R. Cannady respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to enter an Order to preclude the parties, the attorneys and all witnesses

from using the word "insurance" during their testimony, or inferring, implying or
testifying that the Defendant is covered under a liability policy.
II. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE INTRODUCTION OF
PLAINTIFF'S MEDICAL BILLS
Plaintiff Gregory Sheffer is a limited tort plaintiff. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Law,
Plaintiff Sheffer will be allowed to recover "his" out-of-pocket expenses. Plaintiff
Sheffer does not have any lost wages. Accordingly, his out-of-pocket expenses will be
limited 10 his medical expenses.
During discovery, Plaintiff Sheffer produced a hand written note which was
entitled "Out of Pocket Expenses". A copy is attached hereto as Exhibit A. This
document indicales that the out-of-pocket expenses Iota! $5,926.68. During the Pre, Tria!
Conference, Defense counsel showed the document to Judge Hess. Plaintiffs counsel
did not indicate lhat the document needed to be updated.
A. THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FIGURE SHOULD BE REDUCED
BECAUSE MR SHEFFER DID NOT INCUR THE EXPENSE
The document indicates that Crossroads Bible (plaintiffs Sheffer's employer)
paid $1,200, Thus, the out,of-pocket expense figure should be reduced by lhis amount.
Plaintiff Sheffer did not pay this bill out of his pocket. He did not incur this expense.
B. THE OUT-OF POCKET EXPENSE FIGURE SHOULD BE REDUCED BY
THE AMOUNT OF DR MINIUM'S BILLS
The Out-of-Pocket Expenses Sheet prepared by Plaintiff Sheffer indicates that
Dr. Minium bills totaled $1,200. Plaintiff Sheffer has indicated that he paid $556.30 and
has an outstanding balance of $643.70. Since Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred the
2
_~, ~it$
L.',J
l _~'"
,
- ~ -
___r.1
-' -",., '" " '~ .~,-
out-of-pocket expense, the outstanding balance of $643.70 should not be admitted into
evidence.
In addition, the entire amount of Dr. Minimn's bills should not be allowed. No
one will testify that Dr. Minimn's bills of $1,200 are related to this motor vehicle
accident. Dr. Minium will not testify at this trial. None of Plaintiff's expert witnesses
have said that the $1,200 bill from Dr. Minimn is related to the motor vehicle accident.
The $1,200 bill from Dr. Minimn is for plaintiff's new dentures. Plaintiff Sheffer
had 21 year old dentures at the time of the motor vehicle accident. Dr. Boyle testified
lhal lhe American Dental Association recommends that a person have his dentures
rechecked every 5 years. The molor vehicle accident is not the reason for the new
dentures,
C. THE OUT-OF POCKET EXPENSES SHOULD BE REDUCED BECAUSE
PLAINTIFF'S EXPERT WITNESS HAS NOT STATED THAT THEY
WERE REASONABLE, NECESSARY, CUSTO~Y AND RELATED
TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
The Out-of-Pocket Expense sheet list medical bills from Central PA MRl
($875,00), PRlSM, P.C. ($360,00), Alexander Springs Rehab ($508.00) and Yellow
Breeches Family Practice ($33.00). These medical bills total $1,776.00.
None o.fPlaintiffs witnesses will testify that these bills are reasonable, necessary,
customary or, most importantly, related to the motor vehicle accident. Withoul this
teslimony the medical bills are not admissible.
More importantly, Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred any out-of-pockel for these
expenses. In discovery, Plaintiff has produced a letter dated March 21, 2000, from
American Sentinel Insurance Company (ASIC) to Central PA MRI Center. In lhis letter,
3

senl a check for $850.00 to Central PA MRI Center. He however, did not incur an out-
of-pocket expense. Rather, the insurance company check had been sent directly to him
instead ofto the health care provider,

Re: Sheffer vs. Cannady
Cumberland County Civil Action No.: 01-1245
Dear Attorney Knauer:
As you may recall, this case was listed for trial in December, 2003. The case had
to be continued because of your hospitalization.
It is my understanding that the case has not been re-listed for trial. I do not want
to take any steps to re-list it for trial until I have had an opportunity to discuss your
schedule.
At your earliest opportunity please contact my office so that we can review our
calendars and determine when we should list this case for trial. Because of your
prior health problem, I do not want to take any steps to list it without an
understanding of your availability.
Similarly I would hope that you will not list it for trial without conferring with me
and ascertaining'my availability.
Finally, I have not received any expert witness reports from you.

Re: Sheffer vs. Cannady
Cumberland County Civil Action No.: 01-1 245
Dear David:
This is a follow-up t,o my letter to you dated February 18, 2004.
I would like to bring this case to a conclusion.
Previously the case was listed for trial but was continued because of your
hospitalizations.
Because of your prior health problem, I do not want to take any steps to list it
for trial without an understanding of your availability. Please contact my office
so that we can discuss your availability and the court calendar.
In addition, I have never received any expert witness reports from you. I would
appreciate if you would forward any such reports to my office.
Very truly yours,
,~

GREGORY L. SHEFFER and

Civil Action - Law
Plaintiffs,
No. 01-1245
v.
JAMIE R. CANNADY,
Defendant.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
MOTION IN LIMINE OF DEFENDANT
JAMIE R. CANNADY
Come Now Defendant Jamie R. Cannady, by and through his attorneys, Griffith,
Strickler, Lerman, Solymos & Calkins, and Michael B. Scheib, Esquire, and files this
Motion In Limine. Defendant Cannady requests this Honorable Court to:
I. Preclude Mention of Insurance; and,
II. Preclude Introduction of Plaintiff s Medical Bills.
I. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE MENTION OF INSURANCE
The general rule in Pennsylvania is that evidence of insurance is irrelevant and
justifies the grant of a mistrial. See, Dively v. Penn Pittsburgh Corporation, 332 Pa. 65,
2A.2d 831 (1938): Paxton National Insurance Companv v. Brickailik, 513 Pa. 627, 522
A.2d 531 (1987). The mention of insurance or the fact that the Defendant has insurance
coverage for this lawsuit would prejudice the Defendant and would require a mistrial.
Phillips v, Shoenberger, 369 Pa. Super. 52, 534 A.2d 1075 (1987).
WHEREFORE, Defendant Jamie R. Cannady respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to enter an Order to preclude the parties, the attorneys and all witnesses

','
from using the word "insurance" during their testimony, or inferring, implying or
testifying that the Defendant is covered under a liability policy.
II. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE INTRODUCTION OF
PLAINTIFF'S MEDICAL BILLS
Plaintiff Gregory Sheffer is a limited tort plaintiff. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Law,
Plaintiff Sheffer will be allowed to recover "his" out-of-pocket expenses. Plaintiff
Sheffer does not have any lost wages. Accordingly, his out-of-pocket expenses will be
limited to his medical expenses.
During discovery, Plaintiff Sheffer produced a hand written note which was
entitled "Out of Pocket Expenses". A copy is attached hereto as Exhibit A. This
document indicates that the out-of-pocket expenses total $5,926.68. During the Pre-Trial
Conference, Defense counsel showed the document to Judge Hess. Plaintiffs counsel
did not indicate that the document needed to be updated.
A. THE OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FIGURE SHOULD BE REDUCED
BECAUSE MR. SHEFFER DID NOT INCUR THE EXPENSE
The document indicates that Crossroads Bible (Plaintiffs Sheffer's employer)
paid $1,200. Thus, the out-of-pocket expense figure should be reduced by this amount.
Plaintiff Sheffer did not pay this bill out of his pocket. He did not incur this expense.
B. THE OUT-OF POCKET EXPENSE FIGURE SHOULD BE REDUCED BY
THE AMOUNT OF DR. MINIUM'S BILLS
The Out-of-Pocket Expenses Sheet prepared by Plaintiff Sheffer indicates that
Dr, Minium bills totaled $1,200. Plaintiff Sheffer has indicated that he paid $556.30 and
has an outstanding balance of $643.70. Since Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred the
2
..Ii
I~ __

--~.
L "", ,,~
.~~", ..,,;; "
,=<,," -----;"-
0""'-'-"';18,
out-of-pocket expense, the outstanding balance of $643.70 should not be admitted into
evidence.
In addition, the entire amount of Dr. Minium's bills should not be allowed. No
one will testify that Dr. Minium's bills of $1,200 are related to this motor vehicle
accident. Dr. Minium will not testify at this trial. None of Plaintiff s expert witnesses
have said that the $1,200 bill from Dr. Minium is related to the motor vehicle accident.
The $1,200 bill from Dr. Minium is for plaintiff s new dentures. Plaintiff Sheffer
had 21 year old dentures at the time of the motor vehicle accident. Dr. Boyle testified
that the American Dental Association recommends that a person have his dentures
rechecked every 5 years. The motor vehicle accident is not the reason for the new
dentures.
C. THEOUT"OF POCKET EXPENSES SHOULD BE REDUCED BECAUSE
PLAINTIF1F'S EXPERT WITNESS HAS NOT STATED THAT THEY
WERERE'ASONABLE, NECESSARY, CUSTOMARY AND RELATED
TO THE MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
The Out-of-Pocket Expense sheet list medical bills from Central PA MRI
($875.00), PRISM, P.C. ($360.00), Alexander Springs Rehab ($508.00) and Yellow
Breeches Family Practice ($33.00). These medical bills total $1,776.00.
None of Plaintiffs witnesses will testify that these bills are reasonable, necessary,
customary or, most importantly, related to the motor vehicle accident. Without this
testimony the medical bills are not admissible.
More importantly, Plaintiff Sheffer has not incurred any out-of-pocket for these
expenses. In discovery, Plaintiff has produced a letter dated March 21, 2000, from
American Sentinel Insurance Company (ASIC) to Central PA MRI Center. In this letter,

ASIC refused to pay the Central P A MRI Center bill of $850.00 because the benefits had
been paid directly to the claimant, Gregory Sheffer. A few months later Plaintiff Sheffer
sent a check for $850.00 to Central PA MRI Center. He however, did not incur an out-
of-pocket expense. Rather, the insurance company check had been sent directly to him
instead ofto the health care provider.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Jamie R. Cannady respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to enter an Order to preclude or limit the medical bills Plaintiff Sheffer can
introduce into evidence.
