Court summary proposal from May 17th hearing.

[n3417511]

Aug. 30, 2024: Defendants will file the remainder of the administrative record.
Sept. 27, 2024: Plaintiffs will file their separate motions for summary judgment.
Nov. 8, 2024: Defendants will respond to the plaintiffs' motions and file their cross-motion for summary judgment.
Dec. 20, 2024: Plaintiffs will reply to the defendants' response and cross-motion.
Jan. 24, 2025: Defendants will file their reply in support of their cross-motion.
Importantly, both parties agree that the defendants do not need to file a formal answer to the complaints. Instead, the cases will proceed and be resolved based on the summary judgment briefing alone.
A proposed order reflecting this schedule has been submitted to the court for approval. So this isn't final this is what has been proposed.

... did I get lost in the context here or do I just need another cup of coffee?

...I think I'll go with the latter and grab a pod.

Yesterday was just a summary proposal outlining what will be accomplished moving forward. We should just continue as business as usual. This could take many months to finalize.

Jesus Christ, 6 months??? I’m sure there will be other administrative bullshit and appeals on top of this too. Might as well just extend it until for a few years.

Yes. but since both parties worked it out it's likely to be approved subject to the court's own schedule and whatever else comes up that requires a change.

This could take many months to finalize.

That's right. It ain't over til it's over.

 

[n3417511]

Yes, due to the complexity, that is a possibility.

Remaining hurdles: Insurers have submitted their 2025 Medicare plan rate proposals to CMS, which is still reviewing them.

Executives at UnitedHealth and Elevance Health have said this week during conference calls with securities analysts that they took a cautious approach to pricing but were not sure about what competitors might have done.

Although the threat from the agent pay change regulation appears to be gone, insurers’ cautious approach to pricing could lead to fewer Medicare plan options in 2025 and higher prices for the plans that are still on the menu.
