SUMMARY:Behind the Lawsuits: Understanding Recent ERISA Fiduciary Litigation
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThis litigation has implications far beyond a single employer. Every organization offering a self-insured health plan should be paying close attention. \nHear from two leading legal experts who will share their perspectives on the Mayo Clinic case and what it signals for employers: \nChris Deacon\, JD\, Principal\, VerSan Consulting\, and former Assistant Director of Pensions and Benefits for the State of New Jersey \nJon Corey\, JD\, Principal\, McKool Smith (Los Angeles)\, who represents plaintiffs across the health care industry\, including self-funded benefit plans\, plan sponsors\, and providers \nThey 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. \nRegistration is limited. Reserve your spot today. \nYou can access the full lawsuit here.  \nThis webinar was recorded. Watch the recording here. \nTickets\n\nFree; Zoom link to webinar will be sent out morning of.\nIncludes access to webinar and receipt of the recording.\nAll events free for CPR members and enterprise subscription holders.\nInterested in sponsorship and/or tickets for your organization?  Email connect@catalyze.org!
