Lawsuit update

On October 3, the United States Supreme Court refused to accept United HealthCare�fs appeal of the Ohio Supreme Court�fs decision denying its motion to arbitrate the Academy and its co-plaintiffs�f claims against United HealthCare.

The United States Supreme Court�fs refusal to hear the case means that the case will now proceed to trial at the local level. Three of the four health plans that were originally named as defendants (Aetna, Anthem, and Humana/ChoiceCare) have previously settled out of court. See links below.

In anticipation of this favorable decision, the Academy's legal team, from Strauss & Troy and Waite, Schneider, Bayless & Chesley, has been preparing our case for trial and will keep us informed as it proceeds. We, in turn, will keep our members up to date as the litigation progresses.
