Term
Cert. Denied
Lower Court Opinion
Questions Presented
1. Is an ERISA-governed plan that denies health benefits required to discuss contrary opinions from the member’s treating providers in the decision letter?
2. Should courts consider the whole administrative record when deciding whether substantial evidence supports a plan’s denial of health benefits, instead of limiting their review to the decision letters?
