WPL Y TO NEW MATTER
AND NOW, this ~ day of December, 2001, comes the Plaintiff, HCR Manor
Care, by and through its attorney, Daniel F. Wolfson, Esquire, and the law firm of Wolfson
& Associates, P.c., and files the within Reply to New Matter and in support avers as
follows:
The allegations and averments contained within paragraphs One (1) through
Nineteen (19) of the Plaintiff's Complaint are incorporated herein by reference as if set
forth in full.
20. Paragraph 20 of Defendant's Answer and New Matter is an incorporation
paragraph to which no response is required. To the extent that a response is necessary,
same is denied and the allegations contained in Plaintiff's Complaint are incorporated
herein by reference as if set forth in full.
21 . Admitted.
"<'~,l,,<

22. Admitted.
23. Admitted.
24. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendant and Decedent were fully
insured for medical expenses incurred from the services of Plaintiff by Blue Cross, Blue
Shield and Medicare. By way of further answer, Decedent's Blue Cross/Blue Shield policy
paid only for eleven (11) days in February of 2001, and made no payments on behalf of
the Decedent in either December of 2000 or January of 2001 because Defendant and
Decedent had not met the required deductibles until February 17,2001.
25. Admitted in part; denied in part. If Defendant can show that Plaintiff should
be paid by either Blue Cross, Blue Shield or Medicare for medical treatment and services
provided to Decedent, it is admitted that Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Medicare are
indispensable parties to this matter. As to Defendant's assertion, at this point in the
proceedings, that any expenses incurred by Decedent from Plaintiff should be necessarily
covered by either Blue Cross, Blue Shield or Medicare, after reasonable investigation,
Plaintiff is without sufficient information or knowledge to form a belief as to the truth or
veracity of this allegation. Therefore, same is denied and strict proof is demanded at trial.
