UnitedHealthcare of Mississippi, Inc. v. Amerigroup Mississippi, Inc., Magnolia Health Plan, Inc., Molina Healthcare…

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the chancery court’s order requiring disclosure of UnitedHealthcare’s compilation of governmental sanctions. UnitedHealthcare failed to prove that the compilation was not readily ascertainable from public records, as required for trade-secret protection, and offered only generalized assertions of competitive harm to establish confidential commercial or financial information. The Court also denied UnitedHealthcare’s motion to supplement the appellate record because the requested materials were immaterial to the issues presented.
