PHI Health LLC v. Health Care Services Corporation

Why This Matters:

Why This Matters 

The plaintiff, an air ambulance provider, alleges that the defendant, a health insurer, is withholding or delaying payment following 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. The plaintiff argues that this delay in payment violates the No Surprises Act, the Federal Arbitration Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and Illinois state law prohibiting unfair and deceptive trade practices. On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the district court erred in dismissing the case.
