United States Eleventh Circuit

In an action by dentists against managed care plans alleging that defendants engaged in a fraudulent scheme to reduce payments to plaintiffs, dismissal of the complaint is affirmed where: 1) plaintiffs did not point to a single specific misrepresentation by defendants regarding how plaintiffs would be compensated in any of the challenged communications, nor did they allege the manner in which they were misled by the documents; and 2) the allegations in plaintiffs' complaint did not support an inference of an agreement to the overall objective of the conspiracy or an agreement to commit the predicate acts.
