Join us on May 1 at 12:30 p.m. ET for a timely webinar examining recent litigation that is reshaping employer responsibilities under ERISA health benefit plans. A growing wave of lawsuits alleges that employers have breached their fiduciary duties in the administration of self-funded health plans—raising critical questions about pricing, reimbursement, and transparency.

The webinar will focus on a recent class action lawsuit filed April 2 against the Mayo Clinic, which alleges violations of fiduciary duty under ERISA. The case centers on out-of-network reimbursement practices, underpaid claims, and opaque pricing that allegedly led to significant balance billing and left plan participants without the information needed to make informed health care decisions. The lawsuit highlights challenges faced by employees seeking mental health care and underscores the heightened scrutiny employers now face in plan oversight.

This litigation has implications far beyond a single employer. Every organization offering a self-insured health plan should be paying close attention.

Hear from two leading legal experts who will share their perspectives on the Mayo Clinic case and what it signals for employers:

Chris Deacon, JD, Principal, VerSan Consulting, and former Assistant Director of Pensions and Benefits for the State of New Jersey

Jon Corey, JD, Principal, McKool Smith (Los Angeles), who represents plaintiffs across the health care industry, including self-funded benefit plans, plan sponsors, and providers

They will discuss what this case reveals about fiduciary risk, how courts are evaluating out-of-network pricing and disclosures, and what employers should consider now to strengthen compliance and governance.
