Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Bartholomew v. Virginia Chiropractors Association, Inc. was overruled in part. The Supreme Court held in Union Labor Life Insurance Co. v. Pireno that chiropractic peer review of insurance claims is outside the McCarran–Ferguson Act's “business of insurance” exemption, contrary to Bartholomew's ruling on that issue.
More on how this was screened

The Fourth Circuit expressly recognized the partial overruling in Ratino v. Medical Service of the District of Columbia. Bartholomew's separate Clayton Act venue ruling was unaffected. All 41 flagged citations were read; the confirmed treatment is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

41 later cases cite Bartholomew v. Virginia Chiropractors Association, Inc.; 41 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Overruled in part

  • The Supreme Court's ruling that chiropractic peer review is outside the McCarran–Ferguson antitrust exemption displaced Bartholomew's contrary holding about that practice.

    Union Labor Life Insurance Co. v. Pireno · Supreme Court of the United States · filed

    In sum, we conclude that ULL’s use of NYSCA s Peer Review Committee does not constitute the “business of insurance” within the meaning of § 2(b) of the McCarran-Ferguson Act. ... As noted by the Court of Appeals, id., at 395, n. 13, the decision below is contrary to that of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit “in a factually identical ease.” See Bartholomew v. Virginia Chiropractors Assn., 612 F. 2d 812 (1979).
