Jon Godfread, in his capacity as North Dakota Insurance Commissioner; Wayne Stenehjem, in his capacity as North Dakota Attorney General Defendants Appellants Appellate Case: 19-1343 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/17/2021 Entry ID: 5015428 ------------------------------ National Association of Insurance Commissioners; America's Health Insurance Plans Amici on Behalf of Appellant(s) ____________ Appeals from United States District Court for the District of North Dakota - Bismarck ____________ Submitted: June 16, 2020 Filed: March 17, 2021 ____________ Before GRUENDER, WOLLMAN, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________ WOLLMAN, Circuit Judge. Two provisions of North Dakota Senate Bill 2231 (SB 2231) are at issue in this case. The first prohibits air ambulance providers from directly billing out-of-network insured patients for any amount not paid for by their insurers (the payment provision). N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-47-09(3). The second prohibits air ambulance providers or their agents from selling subscription agreements (the subscription provision). N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-47-08. Guardian Flight LLC filed this declaratory judgment action, claiming that both provisions are preempted under the Airlines Deregulation Act (ADA). Defendants Jon Godfread, in his capacity as North Dakota Insurance Commissioner, and Wayne Stenehjem, in his capacity as North Dakota Attorney General, responded that, even if preempted, the provisions were saved under the McCarran-Ferguson Act. -
