Another Court Scrutinizes Plan Exclusion for Wilderness Programs
Thomson Reuters / EBIA Aug. 30, 2018
"Another court has allowed mental health parity claims to proceed against an insurer that denied coverage for behavioral health care services provided in an outdoor residential treatment setting.... The insurer [had] asked the court to dismiss the case, arguing that the treatment was properly denied under the plan's 'Counseling in the Absence of Illness' exclusion, which listed wilderness programs as an example of a noncovered service." [A.Z. v. Regence Blueshield, No. 17-1292 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 9, 2018)]
