"Health Plan Sponsors Must Inspect 3rd-Party Admin Payments," an article by Thompson Hine's Shira McKinlay and Kim Wilcoxon, was published in Law360.
In the article, they look at Kreutzmann v. Cigna Health and Life Insurance Co., a new ERISA class action that challenges shared savings fees in administrative-services-only agreements. They explain why sponsors of self-funded group health plans should take a close look at how their third-party administrators are paid. They also offer practical steps for monitoring those arrangements.
