Sixth Circuit Joins Sister Circuits: Denial of Plan Benefits Confers Standing Even If Not Billed Directly for Medical Services
Michelle L. Roberts, via LinkedIn Link to more items from this source
Aug. 21, 2018

"[T]he Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's determination that the plaintiff has the standing to bring his claim despite the failure to allege a financial loss. The court noted that '[e]very circuit court to consider this issue agrees that a plaintiff in Springer's shoes does not need to suffer financial loss. The Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits have each held that the denial of plan benefits is a concrete injury for Article III standing even when patients were not directly billed for their medical services.' " [Springer v. Cleveland Clinic Employee Health Plan Total Care, No. 17-4181 (6th Cir. Aug. 14, 2018)]
