U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 22-2275
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Western
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Colloton and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - ERISA. The fact that a plan participant might not be able to
enforce a money judgment against a former third-party plan administrator
does not mean that he lacks standing to sue that defendant; Where the
insurance plan did not cover bariatric surgery, the Plan's determination
that surgery related to complications from the surgery was not covered was
reasonable, and the decision to deny benefits was supported by substantial
evidence.
