Radiological Associates of Sacramento has sued Sutter Health week to collect $1 million in unpaid fees. The lawsuit, filed in Sacramento Superior Court, accuses Sutter of refusing "to pay the fair and reasonable value for the goods and services provided" by RAS at two Sutter hospitals. In fall 2009, Sutter Health abruptly ended talks with RAS over extending a long-standing contract that placed RAS radiologists at Sutter hospitals.
