Why It Matters
The Consumer Technology Association terminated its lobbying contract with McDermottPlus LLC effective August 31, according to a termination filing signed on August 28. McDermottPlus LLC represented Consumer Technology Association on healthcare innovation issues, including digital health and artificial intelligence, from 2024 through August 2026.
McDermottPlus charged Consumer Technology Association $30,000 for the third quarter of 2026. Quarterly filings from 2024 through the second quarter of 2026 showed $0 amounts.
The Consumer Technology Association was among McDermottPlus's smaller clients by disclosed lobbying value. The Rural Referral Center and Sole Community Hospital Coalition generated $330,000 in disclosed lobbying value across five filings. Several other McDermottPlus clients, including Ascension, the Association for Community Affiliated Plans, Connections Health Solutions LLC, and the Urgent Care Association, each accounted for $280,000 in disclosed lobbying value.
The firm had been exploring a merger with a private equity-owned competitor that did not materialize, and McDermottPlus closed after approximately a dozen years in business.
