A federal appeals court has ruled against psychiatrists who claimed that reimbursement practices by health insurance companies discriminated against patients with mental health and substance abuse disorders. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision, which concluded that the plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue their claims.
“We agree that [the psychiatrists] lack standing,” the decision notes. “The plaintiffs here… claim a cause of action under the statute on behalf of their respective members and patients, rather than on their own behalf.”
