Provided by Connell Foley LLP

The ERISA and Benefit Plan Litigation practice combines in-depth knowledge of the health care insurance industry, as well as the complex laws governing benefit plans, with proven experience defending carriers in class actions and other high-profile claims. Our sophisticated and intimate understanding of ERISA laws allows us to develop legal strategies and arguments that save our clients significant time and costs.

With extensive litigation experience at both state and federal levels, we provide health insurance companies and self-funded plan sponsors with a comprehensive range of services that allow for the cost-effective resolution of critical disputes.

We aggressively prosecute breach of contract and fraud claims and have won multiple recoveries in excess of $1,000,000. We often advise clients as outside counsel, monitoring fraud through the client’s Special Investigations Unit. Moreover, we are at the forefront of challenging overbilling by providers for emergency room services, a growing area of health care fraud. Taking a comprehensive approach, we are not only effective at recovering funds after incidents of fraud have occurred, we also help clients implement the plans and mechanisms they need to detect and prevent fraud as soon as possible.
