"Medical providers treating patients covered by ERISA-governed health plans on an out-of-network basis can assert state-law claims to hold plans to their payment promises without running afoul of ERISA's preemption provision ... So held the Third Circuit ... reversing the trial court's dismissal of a provider's state law claims for breach of contract and promissory estoppel.... [M]edical providers with claims arising from insurers' broken promises to pay set rates for specific treatments need not shy away from pleading these claims under applicable state law."
