Managed Health Care Administration, Inc., and Alabama Psychiatric Services, P.c. v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield Of…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the circuit court and held that the plaintiffs are entitled to arbitrate their claims under the 2006 contract, that the arbitration provision survived termination, and that the plaintiffs did not waive their right to arbitration. The court also vacated the permanent injunction. Justice Parker’s dissent argues that a general reference to the AAA Commercial Rules does not unmistakably compel arbitrability issues to be decided by an arbitrator.
