In May, U.S. District Judge Alan Johnson ruled in favor of four air transport companies that filed suit against Wyoming last year. The suit alleged a state compensation law — which capped state reimbursement for air ambulance services for injured workers at $3,900 — violated a federal airline deregulation law that prohibits states from regulating prices, routes and services.
The suit alleged Wyoming owes the ambulance companies collectively more than $2 million in unpaid claims by refusing to pay more than the capped amount.
