Fast Break: ERISA

Join us for our next Fast Break, focusing on ERISA issues for healthcare providers. Claims involving ERISA plan benefits are subject to existing ERISA statutes and regulations. These laws provide some additional protections and impose further requirements when disputing claims decisions, including coverage denials and payment terms. However, to apply these protections, it is important to understand how this unique body of law works.

Topics will include:

• Background on the ERISA statute and regulations
• How and why ERISA is different
• Cautionary tales and pitfalls in adjudicating ERISA claims
