PLAINTIFF'S PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
AND NOW comes Plaintiff by and through its attorney Arthur A. I{usic,
Esquire and hereby presents its Pre-Trial Memorandum as follows:
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO LIABILITY
Plaintiff seeks fo recover payment for services rendered to
Defendant Gerald Habeclzer. From on or about September 14, 1998
tluuugkl to or about September lY,, 1998, Plaintiff provided medical
services to Defendant Gerald Habeclzer. plaintiff avers that the medical.
services were necessary for Defendant Gerald 1-Tabecker's health and
welfare and that Defendants were billed Plaintiffs usual and customary
charges for the services and expenses incurred. Plaintiff did reasonably
expect to be paid for the services rendered to Defendant Gerald Habecl~er
by the parties benefited. Plaintiff believes that should Defendant ('rerald
Habecker not be held liable to Plaintiff for payment of the services
rendered, he would be unjustly enriched at Plaintiffs expense by having
received services for which he has not paid,
Jan 17 02 05:33p RrLhur Kusic PC 717S4Q761.9 p•3
Plaintiff claizrls Defendant Dolores Habecker is liable for the
aforesaid selroiccs rendered to her husband pursuant to the "doctrine of
necessaries", now codified under 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 4102.
II. STATEMENT Ok' DAMAGES
Plaintiff claims the amount due and owing for the aforesaid
services rendered is $26,472.20-
III. STATEMENT AS TO THE PRINCIPAL ISSUES OF LIABILITY AND
DAMAGES
The principal issues of liaLilily and damages are as follows:
(A) Whether the services provided by Plaintiff to defendant
Gerald Habecker were necessary for his health and welfare;
(B) Whether Plaintiff billed the defendants its usual and
customary charges for the services rendered;
((~ )Whether I~efendsnt Gerald Habecl[cr coliscutc:d to the
services;
(D) Whether the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies in
the instant matter;
(>=) Whether demands :For payment were made upon, the
Defendants;
(li) Whether Defendant Dolores Habecker, pursuant to the
.Ian 17 02 05:33p Frnhur Kusie PC 7175407618 P•4
doctrine of necessaries, is liable to Plaintiff for the services rendered to
her husband
(A) Plaintiff believes the medical services it rendered Lo
Defendant Gerald Habecker were necessary for his benefit and welfare.
The services rendered were part of a series of services rendered to
befendant during thic month of 8eptcmber, 1998 due to his heart
condition. (B) Whether or not Defendants find 1'laintift's charges
"reasonable', such charges were Plaintiffls usual and customary charges
for such services. (C) Plaintiff believes that Defendant Gerald Habecker
consented to receipt of the services rendered from on or about September
14, 1998 thrrn.igh to or about September 18, 1998 in that he underwent
Pre-Admission Testing for the surgery performed on September 14, 1998
and executed certain consent forms, In addition, both Defendants
underwent Preoperative Teaching in preparation for Defendant Gerald
Habeckcr's surgery and executed forms to indicate that they had done so.
Defendant in presenting himself fr~r curgery nn September ]~, 1998
certainly implied his consent therefore and request' thereof. Defendant
Dolores Habecker was aware of the services that were to be rendered to
her husband during the time in question and executed a receipt for his
valuxblee at the tiznc of his adaiiissivu to Plaintiffs facility and did further
execute a form consenting to the use of photography for scientific
purposes during his surgery. Accordingly, even if Defendant did not have
Jan 17 02 05:34p Arthur Kusic PC 7175407618 p.5
an express contract for the services of September 14 through September
l8, 1998, he most certainly had an implied one and breached the
contract by his non-payment for said services. (D) Defendants contend
that the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies to material possessions
and not to services. Plaintiff contends that the doctrine applies to selices
and that the Defendants are liable to Plaintiff under the theory of
quantum mcruit. DcfEUdarrls knew or should have known that Plaintiff
would render the services with the expectation that it would be paid for
the services rendered. A review of "quantum meruit° in Black's I.aw
Dictionary, S~'' Edition and case law in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
clearly demonstrate the use of a quantum meruit claim to recover
payment for services rendered- (E) Plaintiff did make clcrnands for
payment upon the Defendants. They hlled out and executed Plaintiffls
Financial Application form when payment was not forthcoming after
services were mndered. At the very least, the Complaint certainly would
constitute a formal demand for payment. (F) While Defendants deny the
liability of Defendant Dolores I-Tabecker for the serv9ces rendered to her
husband, the "doctrine of necessaries" provides otherwise. Pennsylvania
case law and Cumberland County case law have upheld this concept of
spousal responsibility, In the past, the definition of "necessaries° has
encompassed not only Lasic needs but also health care, education and in
one case a fur coat. The medical services rendered to Defendant Crerald
I-labecker would clearly fall under the defiltion of "necessaries".

PLAINTIFF'S PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
AND NOW comes Plaintiff by and through its attorney Arthur A. Kusic,
Esquire and hereby presents its Pre-Trial Memorandum as follows:
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO LIABILITY
Plaintiff seeks to recover payment for services rendered to
Defendant Gerald Habecker. From on or about September 14, 1998
through to or about September 18, 1998, Plaintiff provided medical
services to Defendant Gerald Habecker. Plaintiff avers that the medical
services were necessary for Defendant Gerald Habecker's health and
welfare and that Defendants were billed Plaintiff's usual and customary
charges for the services and expenses incurred. Plaintiff did reasonably
expect to be paid for the services rendered to Defendant Gerald Habecker
by the parties benefited. Plaintiff believes that should Defendant Gerald
~ ~
Habecker not be held liable to Plaintiff for payment of the services c~.
~~y` ~~
rendered, he would be unjustly enriched at Plaintiff's expense ~a~f
i~t.v "C~
received services for which he has not paid.

Plaintiff claims Defendant Dolores Habecker is liable for the
aforesaid services rendered to her husband pursuant to the "doctrine of
necessaries", now codified under 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 4102.
II. STATEMENT OF DAMAGES
Plaintiff claims the amount due and owing for the aforesaid
services rendered is $26,472.20.
III. 4TATF'MF1VT a4 T(7 THE PRIN('TPAL ISSUES OF LIABILITY AND
DAMAGES
The principal issues of liability and damages are as follows:
(A) Whether the services provided by Plaintiff to defendant
Gerald Habecker were necessary for his health and welfare;
(B) Whether Plaintiff billed the defendants its usual and
customary charges for the services rendered;
(C )Whether Defendant Gerald Habecker consented to the
services;
(D) Whether the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies in
the instant matter;
(E) Whether demands for payment were made upon the
Defendants;
(F) Whether Defendant Dolores Habecker, pursuant to the
doctrine of necessaries, is liable to Plaintiff for the services rendered to
her husband
(A) Plaintiff believes the medical services it rendered to
Defendant Gerald Habecker were necessary for his benefit and welfare.
The services rendered were part of a series of services rendered to
Defendant during the month of September, 1998 due to his heart
condition. (B) Whether or not Defendants find Plaintiff's charges
"reasonable', such charges were Plaintiff's usual and customary charges
for such services. (C) Plaintiff believes that Defendant Gerald Habecker
consented to receipt of the services rendered from on or about September
14, 1998 through to or about September 18, 1998 in that he underwent
Pre-Admission Testing for the surgery performed on September 14, 1998
and executed certain consent forms, In addition, both Defendants
underwent Preoperative Teaching in preparation for Defendant Gerald
Habecker's surgery and executed forms to indicate that they had done so.
Defendant in presenting himself for surgery on September 14, 1998
certainly implied his consent therefore and request thereof. Defendant
Dolores Habecker was aware of the services that were to be rendered to
her husband during the time in question and executed a receipt for his
valuables at the time of his admission to Plaintiff's facility and did further
execute a form consenting to the use of photography for scientific
purposes during his surgery. Accordingly, even if Defendant did not have
an express contract for the services of September 14 through September
18, 1998, he most certainly had an implied one and breached the
contract by his non-payment for said services. (D) Defendants contend
that the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies to material possessions
and not to services. Plaintiff contends that the doctrine applies to services
and that the Defendants are liable to Plaintiff under the theory of
quantum meruit. Defendants knew or should have known that Plaintiff
would render the services with the expectation that it would be paid for
the services rendered. A review of "quantum meruit" in Black's Law
Dictionary, 5tr' Edition and case law in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
clearly demonstrate the use of a quantum meruit claim to recover
payment for services rendered. (E) Plaintiff did make demands for
payment upon the Defendants. They filled out and executed Plaintiff's
Financial Application form when payment was not forthcoming after
services were rendered. At the very least, the Complaint certainly would
constitute a formal demand for payment. (Fi While Defendants deny the
liability of Defendant Dolores Habecker for the services rendered to her
husband, the "doctrine of necessaries" provides otherwise. Pennsylvania
case law and Cumberland County case law have upheld this concept of
spousal responsibility. In the past, the definition of "necessaries" has
encompassed not only basic needs but also health care, education and in
one case a fur coat. The medical services rendered to Defendant Gerald
Habecker would clearly fall under the definition of "necessaries".

PLAINTIFF'S PRE-TRIAL MEMORANDUM
AND NOW comes Plaintiff by and through its attorney Arthur A. Kusic,
Esquire and hereby presents its Pre-Trial Memorandum as follows:
I. STATEMENT OF FACTS AS TO LIABILITY
Plaintiff seeks to recover payment for services rendered to
Defendant Gerald Habecker. From on or about September 14, 1998
through to or about September 1$, 1998, Plaintiff provided medical
services to Defendant Gerald Habecker. Plaintiff avers that the medical
services were necessary for Defendant Gerald Habecker's health and
welfare and that Defendants were billed Plaintiff's usual and customary
charges for The services and expenses incurred. Plaintiff did reasonably
expect to be paid for the services rendered to Defendant Gerald ~ab~kef?
~,. c._
by the parties benefited. Plaintiff believes that should Defends' ~Ger~d -

~'-.
_
rendered, he would be unjustly enriched at Plaintiffls expense~avi'ng ~:
vn
~c ..a
~
received services for which he has not paid.
Plaintiff claims Defendant Dolores Habecker is liable for the
aforesaid services rendered to her husband pursuant to the "doctrine of
necessaries", now codified under 23 Pa.C.S.A. § 4102.
II. STATEMENT OF DAMAGES
Plaintiff claims the amount due and owing for the aforesaid
services rendered is $26,472.20.
III. STATEMENT AS TO THE PRINCIPAL ISSUES OF LIABILITY AND
DAMAGES
The principal issues of liability and damages are as follows:
(A) Whether the services provided by Plaintiff to defendant
Gerald Habecker were necessary for his health and welfare;
(B) Whether Plaintiff billed the defendants its usual and
customary charges for the services rendered;
(C )Whether Defendant Gerald Habecker consented to the
services;
(D) Whether the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies in
the instant matter;
(E) Whether demands for payment were made upon the
Defendants;
(F) Whether Defendant Dolores Habecker, pursuant to the
doctrine of necessaries, is liable to Plaintiff for the services rendered to
her husband
(A) Plaintiff believes the medical services it rendered to
Defendant Gerald Habecker were necessary for his benefit and welfare.
The services rendered were part of a series of services rendered to
Defendant during the month of September, 1998 due to his heart
condition. (B) Whether or not Defendants fmd Plaintiffs charges
"reasonable', such charges were Plaintiffs usual and customary charges
for such services. (C) Plaintiff believes that Defendant Gerald Habecker
consented to receipt of the services rendered from on or about September
14, 1998 through to or about September 18, 1998 in that he underwent
Pre-Admission Testing for the surgery performed on September 14, 1998
and executed certain consent forms, In addition, both Defendants
underwent Preoperative Teaching in preparation for Defendant Gerald
Habecker's surgery and executed forms to indicate that they had done so.
Defendant in presenting himself for surgery on September 14, 1998
certainly implied his consent therefore and request thereof. Defendant
Dolores Habecker was aware of the services that were to be rendered to
her husband during the time in question and executed a receipt for his
valuables at the time of his admission to Plaintiffs facility and did further
execute a form consenting to the use of photography for scientific
purposes during his surgery. Accordingly, even if Defendant did not have
an express contract for the services of September 14 through September
18, 1998, he most certainly had an implied one and breached the
contract by his non-payment for said services. (D) Defendants contend
that the doctrine of "unjust enrichment" applies to material possessions
and not to services. Plaintiff contends that the doctrine applies to services
and that the Defendants are liable to Plaintiff under the theory of
quantum meruit. Defendants knew or should have known that Plaintiff
would render the services with the expectation that it would be paid for
the services rendered. A review of "quantum meruit° in Black's Law
Dictionary, 5~ Edition and case law in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
clearly demonstrate the use of a quantum meruit claim to recover
payment for services rendered. (E) Plaintiff did make demands for
payment upon the Defendants. They filled out and executed Plaintiff's
Financial Application form when payment was not forthcoming after
services were rendered. At the very least, the Complaint certainly would
constitute a formal demand for payment. (F) While Defendants deny the
liability of Defendant Dolores Habecker for the services rendered to her
husband, the "doctrine of necessaries" provides otherwise. Pennsylvania
case law and Cumberland County case law have upheld this concept of
spousal responsibility. In the past, the definition of "necessaries" has
encompassed not only basic needs but also health care, education and in
one case a fur coat. The medical services rendered to Defendant Gerald
Habecker would clearly fall under the definition of "necessaries".

COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes Plaintiff by and through its attorney, Arthur A.
Kusic, Esquire, and respectfully represents the following:
1. Plaintiff, Pinnacle Health System, Inc., is a hospital facility
organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania with a mailing address of P.O. Box 2353, Harrisburg,
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, 17105.
2. Defendants, Gerald Habecker and Dolores Habecker are
adult married individuals residing at 5412 Legene Lane, Enola,
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17025.
COUNT I
(Plaintiff v. Gerald Habecker)
3. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference thereto the
averments hereinabove set forth in paragraphs 1 through 2.
4. On or about September 14, 1998 through to on or about
September 18, 1998, Plaintiff, at Defendant's request, provided necessary
medical services to the Defendant, Gerald Habecker.
5. Plaintiff in good faith provided the necessary medical services
to the Defendant thereafter billed the Defendants its usual and
customary charges for the services and expenses incurred. Copies of its
billing statements are attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked
Exhibit "A".
6. Plaintiff did render health care services to the Defendant
with the reasonable expectation that payment for such services would be
made by the party benefited.
7. Should Defendant not be required to pay for the services
rendered, Defendant would be unjustly enriched at Plaintiff's expense by
having received services without paying for the services rendered.
8. Plaintiff has made demands upon the Defendant for payment
of the balance due and owing of $26,472.20, which demands remain
unheeded.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays your Honorable Court to enter
Judgment in its favor and against the Defendant in the amount of
$26,472.20 along with interest at the legal rate of 6% per annum and the
costs of this proceeding.
COUNT II
(Plaintiff v. Dolores Habecker)
9. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference thereto the
averments hereinabove set forth in paragraphs 1 through 8.
10. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that the health care
services rendered to Defendant Gerald Habecker, husband of Defendant
Dolores Habecker, were necessary for his benefit and welfare.
11. Pursuant to "the doctrine of necessaries", codified under
23 Pa.C.S.§4102, where debts are contracted for necessaries by either
spouse, a creditor may institute suit against husband and wife for the
price of the necessaries.
12. Plaintiff believes and therefore avers that pursuant to "the
doctrine of necessaries", Defendant Dolores Habecker is liable to the
Plaintiff for the necessary health care services rendered to her husband.
13. Plaintiff has made demands upon the Defendant for the
balance due and owing of $26,472.20, which demands remain unheeded.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays your Honorable Court to enter
Judgment in its favor and against the Defendant in the amount of
$26,472.20 along with interest at the legal rate of 6% per annum and the
costs of this proceeding.
COUNT III
(Plaintiff v. Gerald Habecker and Dolores Habecker)
(Joint and Several)
14. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference thereto the
averments hereinabove set forth in paragraphs 1 through 13.
15. Plaintiff believes and therefore that avers that the
Defendants are jointly and severally liable to the Plaintiff for the balance
due and owing of $26,472.20.
16. Plaintiff has made demands upon the Defendants for the
balance due and owing of $26,472.20, which demands remain
unheeded.
17. Plaintiff avers that the amount due and owing does not exceed
the jurisdictional amount requiring arbitration referral by local rule.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays your Honorable Court to enter
Judgment in its favor and against the Defendants in the amount of
$26,472.20 along with interest at the legal rate of 6% per annum and the
costs of this proceeding.
