Wellmark, Inc. d/b/a Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Iowa and Wellmark Health Plan of Iowa, Inc.
Plaintiff chiropractors bringing an antitrust monopsony claim against defendant health insurance companies appeal a district court order denying their motion to certify their suit as a class action.
