PSD Client Wins E-Discovery Battle Against Major Health Insurer
In a battle in Florida state court on behalf of several emergency medicine management groups in insurance coverage disputes based on an alleged pattern of underpayments, PSD prevailed in an e-discovery battle based on arguments over the significance of data in hit reports they demanded. Counsel for BCBS of FL argued that the hit reports showed 245,000 documents to review and continued, “I don’t know how many pages that is, but it’s obviously orders of magnitude beyond that, which would cost an arm and a leg to review,” raising objections based on proportionality, need, and purportedly “non-existent relevance.” The Court sided with PSD, ruling that its position “does not seem unreasonable” given the complexity of the case and the regular role that ESI plays.
