Court Gives Humana a Clean Bill of Health in ERISA Case
Plaintiffs in a recent ERISA lawsuit against health insurance giant Humana didn’t get the diagnosis they hoped for. Initially filed in 2021, the suit went through multiple attempts at prior dismissal that, early on, looked promising for the plaintiffs. But in May of 2024, a district court judge dismissed the case, citing a lack of sufficient evidence, and declared Humana’s plan fit. Key to the company’s clean bill of health was its frequent benchmarking and solicitation of an RFP, underscoring the importance of robust documentation and proactive measures when it comes to maintaining reasonable fees.
