How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- recognizing private cause of action where Medicare paid for medical treatment
- rejecting, as failing to state a claim, an assertion that a plan’s uniform reimbursement for all dialysis constituted differentiation under the MSP
- “Plaintiffs challenge not a refusal to pay claims related to a single patient. Rather, they challenge a policy of Defendant in implementing its health insurance.”
- “Plaintiffs have not demonstrated that Blue Cross’s decision to lower reimbursement rates on dialysis treatment . . . constitutes ‘taking into account’ or ‘differentiating’ a level of coverage provided to those suffering from ESRD and those not.”
