Finding No ERISA Preemption, Third Circuit Revives Out-of-Network Provider Claims Against Aetna
Michelle L. Roberts via LinkedIn Link to more items from this source
July 22, 2020

"[At issue was the] remedy an out-of-network medical care provider has when an insurer ... [agrees] to pay reasonable rates for services that are not covered in the ERISA benefit plan ... only to later refuse to pay the provider's invoices....

The Surgery Center's claims for breach of contract and equitable estoppel were also found not to have a 'connection' to any ERISA plan." [The Plastic Surgery Center., P.A. v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., No. 18-3381 (3d Cir. Jul. 17, 2020)]  MORE >>
