ERISA Liens

ERISA liens are governed by two Supreme Court Cases: Sereboff v. Mid Atlantic Medical Services, Inc., 547 U.S. 346 (2006) and US Airways, Inc. v. McCutchen, 569 U.S. 88 (2013). Both decisions have left self-funded ERISA plans to often request full repayment of any liens. However, MSA Advocates can advise your office on steps that can be taken to reduce the amount that is owed to the ERISA plan. Allow MSA Advocates to assist with requesting and reviewing the Master Plan Document and help to formulate a plan for addressing these liens. 

ERISA guides employer-provided healthcare plans. For those covered under the plans, including employees or their beneficiaries, an ERISA Plan expects to be repaid for any medical bills covered by insurance. The effort to attain this repayment is referred to as ERISA Reimbursement.
