ERISA ADVANTAGE

Did you know? Some simple ERISA facts.

Turn technical rules into strategic wins. These fundamentals explain why ERISA is a powerful lever for recovering underpaid claims.

  • Underpayments count as denials

    Anything less than 100% of the claim is considered a denial under ERISA — and can be appealed.

  • ERISA sets the rules of the road

    Disputes, claims, and appeals for employer‑sponsored plans must follow precise ERISA procedures.

  • Self‑insured plans dominate

    ERISA governs most self‑insured plans — roughly two‑thirds of all U.S. coverage — where insurers often act only as administrators and network providers.

  • ERISA supersedes contracts

    Network, PPO, and HMO contracts — and even state rules — are superseded by federal ERISA law for applicable plans.

  • Administrators are agents, not fiduciaries

    Third‑party administrators and networks act as the employer’s agents. The employer remains the fiduciary.

  • Appeals protect revenue

    A structured ERISA appeal process helps providers reverse inappropriate denials and capture owed dollars.
