A landmark win for healthcare providers.

Today, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed every claim Anthem Blue Cross brought against HaloMD and its co-defendants, rejecting a sweeping attempt to use RICO, ERISA, and state-law theories to collaterally attack the No Surprises Act and the Independent Dispute Resolution process.

The court's message was unmistakable: Congress designed IDR to be the final word on out-of-network payment disputes, not a launching pad for federal litigation every time an insurer doesn't like the outcome.

This ruling protects the integrity of the NSA, the providers who rely on it, and the more than 30 million patients it has shielded from surprise medical bills since 2022.

As 2026 begins, healthcare remains deeply personal.

Behind every claim, every regulation, and every reimbursement decision are healthcare providers delivering care to patients, families, and entire communities—often under real pressure.

Across the country, they are navigating rising costs, growing complexity, and a healthcare landscape where long-term sustainability is becoming harder to achieve. National reporting shows that nearly half of rural hospitals are operating at negative margins, and more than 200 rural hospitals have closed or eliminated inpatient services over the past decade, reducing access to care for millions of patients—particularly in rural communities.

At HaloMD, the focus is clear and unwavering: helping providers obtain fair and reasonable reimbursement so they can continue serving the communities that rely on them.

Sustainable healthcare depends on organizations being able to remain open, invest in their people, and be present for patients when care is needed most.

In the year ahead, the work continues with purpose:

Supporting stability in a challenging reimbursement environment

Applying expertise and data to bring clarity to complexity

Helping protect access to care by strengthening the foundation of care delivery

The work continues—with purpose, responsibility, and a focus on sustainability.

Wishing a restful holiday season to healthcare providers and the teams behind the scenes who show up every day to help keep care accessible for the communities who need it most.

As the year closes, we’re grateful for the collaboration and shared commitment to strengthening the financial sustainability of healthcare—so providers can stay resilient and patients can continue to access care close to home.

Here’s to health, time with loved ones, and a strong start to the new year.

As we head into Thanksgiving, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the people who bring purpose to our work each day—our teams, partners, and the providers we support.

We hope this holiday gives everyone the chance to step back, recharge, and spend meaningful time with the people who matter in their lives.

Wishing you a restorative and memorable Thanksgiving.

The past few weeks have been busy. We attended the Athenahealth Thrive Conference and the Becker’s CEO + CFO Roundtable. These events highlighted why our work matters.

Every conversation reinforced one truth: when providers can remain financially stable, patients keep access to the care they deserve. That’s the heartbeat of everything we do at HaloMD.

From panels to side-stage discussions, the HaloMD team has been sparking critical dialogue on how the No Surprises Act and Independent Dispute Resolution can create balance — protecting providers while preserving access for patients.

Grateful to be part of a team that leads with purpose, empathy, and a relentless commitment to sustaining access to quality healthcare.

This recent article authored by Dr. Richard Heller, pediatric radiologist with Rad Partners, explores the structural incentives driving IDR volume and cost—offering a data-grounded look at how the system is evolving under the No Surprises Act.

HaloMD is honored to be included in this important discussion. Dr. Heller highlights how our work expands access to the IDR process for providers who might otherwise lack the resources or expertise to engage—underscoring that, despite insurer rhetoric, neither HaloMD nor most of our provider clients are backed by private equity.

We appreciate Dr. Heller’s balanced perspective and the clarity he brings to a complex issue shaping out-of-network reimbursement today.

The No Surprises Act has protected patients from surprise medical bills. However, the law’s incentives for insurers acting as third party administrators to push providers out of network and under-reimburse for care drive wasteful spending that harms patients, plans, and providers.

We look forward to connecting with executives and industry leaders who share our vision for a more sustainable healthcare ecosystem.

In Emergency Medicine, surprises should never extend beyond patient care.

Every day, providers deliver lifesaving treatment without hesitation — often before knowing if, or how, they’ll be reimbursed.

HaloMD recognizes the dedication of emergency providers who face uncertainty head-on. Through Independent Dispute Resolution, we work to remove the financial “surprises” from the system — ensuring fair and reasonable reimbursement for those who keep our communities safe.
