UnitedHealth had previously asked the court to uphold its “cross-plan setting” billing strategy, which allowed the insurer to offset overpayments made to out-of-network providers from some of its health plans by withholding payments to the same provider from its different health plans.

On Oct. 21, UnitedHealth and a group of medical providers reached an agreement to dismiss the case.
