Guardian Flight, LLC v. Health Care Service Corporation
Pending petition
Issue: (1) Whether a breach of Employee Retirement Income Security Act plan terms constitutes an injury in fact to an ERISA plan beneficiary, even where the beneficiary will not suffer any pocketbook injury; and (2) whether, when Congress provided that the No Surprises Act independent dispute resolution process awards are “binding” and mandated that insurers “shall” pay them within 30 days, it intended to allow providers to sue in court to enforce the awards.
