District Court Rules That Cross-Plan Offset Constitutes 'Grave Conflict of Interest'
AVYM Healthcare Revenue Consultants Link to more items from this source
Mar. 22, 2017

"In an extraordinary decision, [a U.S. district judge] has effectively barred cross-plan offsets. The judge weighed in on two very important questions: ... whether UHC acted 'reasonably' in interpreting its client's plans to permit cross-plan offsetting; and whether the practice complies with the 'fiduciary duties imposed by ERISA'. The court offered an answer to both issues while providing very clear guidance for plans, claims administrators, medical providers and patients." [Peterson v. UnitedHealth Group Inc., No. 14-2101 (D. Minn. Mar. 14, 2017)]
