FMS Nephrology Partners North Central Indiana Dialysis Centers, LLC v. Meritain Health, Inc., et al.
20S-PL-302
Reverses grant of summary judgment in favor of Meritain Health, University of Notre Dame and Beacon Health. Finds the St. Joseph Superior Court erred in concluding FMS’s claims were preempted under the conflict-preemption provision of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Determines FMS’s state-law claims survive the two-pronged compete preemption test developed in Aetna Health, Inc. v. Davila, 542 U.S. 200, 210, (2004). Rules the precedent set in Midwest Security Life Insurance Co. v. Stroup, 730 N.E. 2d 163 (Ind. 2000) was misconstrued and that FMS’s claim does not involve ERISA but rather is about a provider’s rate of payment under a separate contract with a health insurance plan. Remands for further proceedings.
