U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1705
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Gruender, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Affordable Care Act. The ACA did not require defendant to
provide plaintiffs with disclosure of information, including a list of
approved in-network lactation counseling providers, and failure to provide
the list did not amount to a failure to provide coverage as mandated by
the ACA; plaintiff Bailey's information and disclosure claim under ERISA
failed to state a claim upon which could be granted; the summary judgment
record established that defendant provided the plaintiffs qualified,
available in-network providers of comprehensive lactation support and
consulting services and did not violate the ACA's cost-sharing mandate.
