Health your username December 23, 2020 The Ninth Circuit on Tuesday affirmed a previous decision that granted summary judgment to Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. (KFHP) after a class action complaint alleged that KFHP breached its fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The putative class claimed that KFHP breached its duties “by excluding residential treatment programs from its plan and by failing to provide adequate procedures that would enable providers to refer eating disorder patients to residential treatment programs,” the court explained. The Northern District of California sided with KFHP, and the plaintiffs now appeal, purporting that the district court “overlooked numerous factual disputes.”
