##################################

 

ERISA, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, is a federal law that governs and regulates healthcare claims for estimated more than 170 million Americans who obtained health insurance or benefits from employment in private sector, for both self-insured and fully-insured (through purchase of insurance) health plans. ERISA law completely (100%) preempts, supersedes and invalidates any and all state laws and private managed-care contracts for PPOs and HMOs in any and all dispute over denial of benefits from an ERISA plan. ERISA regulates and governs healthcare claims which include the paid ERISA healthcare claims in more than 50% of $2.4 trillion, 16.6% of GDP, of the national health expenditure in 2008, and also include the denied healthcare claims, legitimately or wrongly for appealable claims, in more than 50% of $5 trillion in the aggregated denied healthcare claims in 2008. More than 60-70% of healthcare claim denials from insurance companies and managed-care third-party payers by employer-sponsored plans are due to ERISA regulated plan or policy coverage, limitations and exclusions rather than traditional billing, coding, medical necessity and managed care contracting or participation dispute. Although in the past 35 years the notices for ERISA rights to appeal were written on almost every EOB (Explanation of Benefits) in the daily practice in doctors' offices and hospitals, the healthcare providers, managed-care third-party payers, and even legal professionals as well as the state regulators rarely understood how to conduct, manage or regulate ERISA claim appeals for ERISA claim denials and disputes.

 

There have been urgent and popular regulatory needs and market demands for ERISA claim compliance education and training in this $6 trillion healthcare denial management market.

ERISA & Claim Denials

Aetna Video Shows ERISA Patients Mistreated

 

"According to the video, when faced with claims for identical medical problems, Aetna separates the claims where no damages are available - those subject to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA - from non-ERISA claims, where consumers can sue.1 2"

 

ERISA & Health Claim
What Is ERISA and How Does It Affect Patient Rights?

 

"ERISA was enacted in 1974 to protect the pension and welfare benefits that employers provide their workers. It currently covers about 2.5 million health plans and 125 million workers, retirees, and dependents."

 

Department of Labor

 
"A group health plan is an employee welfare benefit plan established or maintained by an employer or by an employee organization (such as a union), or both, that provides medical care for participants or their dependents directly or through insurance, reimbursement, or otherwise.

Most private sector health plans are covered by the

 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Among other things, ERISA provides protections for participants and beneficiaries in employee benefit plans (participant rights), including providing access to plan information. Also, those individuals who manage plans (and other fiduciaries) must meet certain standards of conduct under the fiduciary responsibilities specified in the law."

 

 

$10,600 ERISA Claim

Recent Federal Court Ruling in a Case with $10,600 medical claim, insurance Co. refused to pay, provider made numerous demand for payment in almost one year, but no appeals filed, the court dismissed the lawsuit because provider failed to exhaust administrative remedy, as required under ERISA, by filing ERISAclaim appeals.  This situation is so popular in health-care community.

 

 

 

 

Agree to terms and conditions

"Each benefit plan defines which services are covered, which are excluded, and which are subject to dollar caps or other limits. Members and their providers will need to consult the member's benefit plan to determine if there are any exclusions or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply."

 

CIGNA - Coverage Positions/Criteria
"The terms of a participant's particular benefit plan document [Group Service Agreement (GSA), Evidence of Coverage, Certificate of Coverage, Summary Plan Description (SPD) or similar plan document] may differ significantly from the standard benefit plans upon which these Coverage Positions are based. If these Coverage Positions are inconsistent with the terms of the member's specific benefit plan, then the terms of the member's specific benefit plan always control."
