STAT+: Federal judge tosses California No Surprises Act lawsuit against HaloMD
Summary: A federal judge threw out a lawsuit against HaloMD, a Texas company that helps doctors get paid for out-of-network bills. Insurance companies like Blue Cross claimed HaloMD was gaming the "No Surprises Act" system to get extra money. However, the judge ruled the insurer didn't have a strong enough legal case to cancel HaloMD's recent wins.
