On July 6, 2023, Judge Janet Hall of the District of Connecticut dismissed seven consolidated actions against Travelers and denied Plaintiffs’ request for leave to amend. Plaintiffs sought double damages based on allegations that Travelers violated the Medicare Secondary Payor Act by failing to reimburse Medicare Advantage plans for medical expenses the plans allegedly paid on behalf of individual enrolled in the plans. The Court dismissed the case because Plaintiffs failed show that Travelers was responsible to pay for those expenses within the meaning of the statute.
Bonnie Jarret, Evan Gilbert, Albert Tagliaferri, Timothy Nagle and Parmida Enkeshafi prepared the motions, with Alan Turner and Bryce Friedman.
