Why This Matters:
The plaintiff, a New York-based medical provider, sued a health insurer following the resolution of the No Surprises Act’s arbitration process—a process used to resolve payment disputes for surprise out-of-network bills between payers and out-of-network health care providers.

On appeal, the insurer argues that the district court erred in denying the defendant’s motion to dismiss.
