Claim Types
Outcome
The court affirmed the employer plan's final determination denying the plaintiff's claim for coverage of 2008 medical procedures, finding that the procedures were complications of the 2005 gastric bypass surgery and thus subject to the plan's $15,000 lifetime limit for obesity-related treatment. The court also denied the plaintiff's breach of fiduciary duty claim.
