Analysis of Data from Independent Review Organizations
Ohio's External Review Experience (HealthLeaders)
Excerpt: "In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that
patients may not sue their HMOs in state courts for coverage
decisions, independent external-review programs across the country
will become even more critical. External review is designed to resolve
medical necessity disputes before they reach courts."

$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. |
