Unlocking ERISA: How to Win Appeals When the Stakes Are High

Presentation Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2025

Join us for an insightful follow-up webinar featuring Dr. Kendall Smith, MD, as we delve deeper into the complexities of ERISA and its impact on insurance claims. Building on the powerful stories previously shared in May by two women who faced egregious denials from their insurance companies, this presentation will equip you with essential knowledge and practical strategies to navigate ERISA effectively.

Upon conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to identify how ERISA-governed health plans differ from non-ERISA plans, recognize an effective tactic to address improper actions by third-party administrators (TPAs) and escalate to the plan sponsor, and determine advantages of referencing fiduciary duty in ERISA appeals.
