Connecticut Podiatric Medical Association v. Health Net of Connecticut, Inc.

Summary

The court held that the individual podiatrists had standing because they were parties to the provider agreements and were therefore directly injured by the alleged underpayments. On the merits, the court interpreted the statutory protection against unfair discrimination as barring denial of reimbursement based on a practitioner's license, but not different reimbursement rates for identical services based on licensure, and affirmed summary judgment for Health Net.
