From the supplier: ERISA governs most of the litigation of employee benefits cases and of the health insurance carrier denial of care, and the first documents for the attorney to study are the benefits denial notice and the summary plan description. Ambiguous writing of plans and concealing exclusions violate ERISA, which requires plans to be written in a way that the average person can understand them. The scope of ERISA preemption is important for the attorney, as most benefit denials occur in ERISA plans. There are just two possible exceptions to ERISA preemption.
