UnitedHealthcare has filed a lawsuit against the director of the Idaho Department of Insurance, arguing that the state’s recent efforts to regulate Medicare Advantage plan marketing and broker commissions are in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
The lawsuit, filed Nov. 21 in a federal Idaho court, comes after the state’s insurance department joined others in issuing warnings or emergency orders aimed at preventing insurers from limiting access to MA plans and restricting broker commissions during the ongoing open enrollment period. ARTICLE
