[Consolidated.] J. Proctor denies, in part, a class of companies’ motion to compel pre-2015 structured data or, alternatively, to declare the Rule 37 implications of insurers’ refusal to produce the data in this antitrust lawsuit that partially centers on when the alleged injuries occurred. The insurers’ motion for a protective order based on the appropriate statute of limitations for the companies’ claims is denied, in part. There is a genuine issue of material fact concerning the limitations period of the claims and pre-2015 structured data, but the court agrees it began no earlier than 2015. The court barred the insurer Anthem from using the missing pre-2015 structured data against the companies and the precise limitations period shall be determined.

J. Simon denies the monitoring service's motion for summary judgment against the website's complaint asserting that the monitoring service enacted a conspiracy with the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, the Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies and the Center for Safe Internet Pharmacies Ltd. to restrain market competition for online pharmacy verification services and comparative drug pricing information. The monitoring service argues that the website would have suffered the same injury it alleges from enforcement agencies without the service's conduct due to the website's own alleged illegal activity.

J. Barbier grants summary judgment to a group of insurers, dismissing claims of federal health care violations by primary care physicians one day after rejecting their antitrust claim, effectively gutting the doctors’ suit alleging they conspired to reject their claims for allergy services. The doctors unsuccessfully sought a ruling the insurers were violating Medicare and Medicaid regulations aimed at protecting health care providers from discrimination. None of the statutes cited provide the doctors with a right to sue the insurers, which the physicians acknowledge by their failure to respond to the insurers’ argument on this point.
