Background
On August 7, 2025, Epilepsy and Neurophysiology Management Services filed a petition to confirm an arbitration award against Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield f/k/a Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Scheduling Order
The court explained that proceedings to confirm an arbitration award are treated much like a motion for summary judgment, which is a request for a decision based on the submitted materials when there is no need for a trial on disputed facts. The court ordered the plaintiff to file any additional supporting materials, such as a legal memorandum, by October 10, 2025. Anthem’s opposition, if any, was due October 31, 2025, and the plaintiff’s reply, if any, was due November 14, 2025.
If Anthem had not appeared by October 10, 2025, the plaintiff was ordered to serve the complaint, supporting papers, and the scheduling order electronically and by overnight mail by October 15, 2025. The plaintiff also had to file proof of that service by October 16, 2025.
Disposition
Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke entered a scheduling order. The opinion did not decide whether the arbitration award should be confirmed.
