Ninth Circuit Reverses Landmark Wit Case Addressing Behavioral Health Coverage
Polsinelli PC Link to more items from this source
Apr. 5, 2022

"Appeals to the full Ninth Circuit and possibly to the Supreme Court are expected, as plaintiffs are likely to argue the appellate court improperly disregarded the district court's factual findings about the plan administrator's conflicts of interest and unreasonable plan interpretations, contrary to the weight of expert testimony on generally accepted standards of care and other evidence.... It seems clear that Congress will be required, and likely motivated, to address underlying issues with parity and equity for behavioral health coverage." [Wit, et al. v. United Behavioral Health, Nos. 20-17363, 21-15193, 20-17364, 21-15194 (9th Cir. Mar. 22, 2022; unpub.)]
